ckcowl, I don't think it's horrible or negative at all. The "cheating" reference is because the fabric LOOKS like it's pieced but it is not. I look at it tongue-in-cheek.
Those pieces make great practice panels for FMQ. |
I think of cheater fabric as yardage with a pattern printed on it so that it looks like it has either been pieced or quilted straight off the bolt.

I hope if I mention it enough, someone will use them and report back on quality :) |

Another source of 'cheater' fabric can be your scanner/computer/printer. I did a king size variation on 54-40 where I scanned my first block (with a white center block), reduced it down to the size of my center square, and then printed up a bunch of reduced blocks and I used as them as part of the center squares on all the blocks in the quilt. When I machine quilted it, I stitched along where the seam lines would have been on the center block.
