[QUOTE=linda8450;7964605]I love panels, they make easy work out of making a quilt! Some call them cheaters, I call them beautiful works of art!
———————————
Just to clarify, there is a difference between a “panel” and a “cheater”. A panel is like the one you posted. A cheater is, (as an example), a finished Dresden Plate quilt top that is “printed” on the fabric. All someone has to do is add the batting and backing and quilt it. Very well printed “cheaters” have to be looked at closely to see they are not pieced. Cheaters are not as common as they were years ago.

Dresden Plate is not the only pattern on a cheater. There are many, i.e. Double Wedding Ring, 9 patch, squares and/or rectangles, triangles, etc. A cheater comes in yardage which distinguishes it from a panel.
