Thank you for all your responses. It has been so fun to read. I didn't know what else to call it except cheater cloth that quilter's would understand what I meant. I do like the name convenience quilts. It doesn't have a negative connotation. I have a friend who loves to hand quilt, but has a phobia about sewing machines. She says she can't underand why anyone would cut up perfectly good fabric into little pieces and sew it back together again. Sigh. I would like to know a source for pretty patterns. Also, colors are important to me. Some of the fabric I have seen is problematic as far as color goes--dull colors and/or too few colors to give it depth. Also quality of the fabric is important. Since no one in my area carries convenience quilt fabric, online is my option. Anyone found a good source? I need to replace bed quilts that are wearing out. My intricate pieced and appliqued quilts are reserved for decorative spreads for now.
