I love cheater fabrics and panels, I use them all the time. I use them if I'm making a quilt for a grandchild, who knows how long they will use it or how long it will last. I also use them if I'm making a lap quilt for charity, myself and my husband. We use them outside on chilly spring and fall nights. I also have made a lot of them for the RV, handy to have for sitting around the fire and for lending them to friends. I also make small lap quilts for my cat, I put those on my recliner for him to sit on when I'm not in it. I make a lot of those to spread around on thing I don't him sitting on, like my sewing chair!
