The term "cheater" has been around for about35 years when hand quilters were miffed that folks were taking short cuts to produce quilts. Thus the term. It in no way denigrates the work any of us do. I finished 1 cheater DWR which was gorgeous and I still have another one to do. I also have many wall hangings, seasonal hangings for the front door, etc. Don't be offended; just know what the term means and do you own thing.
