why is it necessary to use negativity in association with creativity?
I'm not referring to panels. I'm referring to fabric that looks like it was pieced but it's printed to look like it was pieced. I call those cheater fabrics. I don't consider panels cheater fabrics because those are usually a picture of some sort to enhance the quilt and not printed to look like it was pieced. And I do consider it cheating because I'm not doing the piecing, but it doesn't bother me.
