the quilt is beautiful! not a thing of negativity---cheating---at all
This quote is too funny! Cheating is not always a bad thing. I used cheat sheets all through college to study for tests. We say we cheated the odds when we accomplish a near impossible task. And a cheater quilt sounds better to me than saying a short cut quilt! LOL Now a phrase that sounds negative to me is when people say they spoil their grandkids rotten! I say if its rotten it gets kicked to the curb for pickup! Not something we do with those little sweeties! LOL "A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet." I love your cheater quilt and I'm in total awe of your quilting skills!
