Oh My! this cheater quilt is just beautiful!
I was looking on ebay for backing for a king sized quilt and looked up cheater quilts, there was some for 23.00 that were 90x108 and if I added a little boarder it would fit the back of this quilt I am making. It would be reversible too.
So I came here and did a search for cheater quilts to see if anyone used them for the a backing for there quilt and a few can up but they were all just used for practicing quilting, this one is beautiful.. I think it is a good idea what do you think about using a cheater quilt for a backing..Thanks

the quilt is beautiful! not a thing of negativity---cheating---at all
