Beautiful! I have the template set for the giant dahlia. I've been pondering it for some time. Are they hard?

A cheater quilt is printed, not pieced.

That would be something entirely different. The pictured quilt is "outline stitched".

cjstewart415 12-11-2011 05:23 PM

Carol, this is beautiful! I love your fabrics.

JanieH 12-11-2011 05:27 PM

Great quilt; love the colors!

I think the term should be "Convenience Quilt" instead of "Cheater". Sounds much more impressive...kind of like a brain fart that we now refer to as "cranial flatulence". :) hehehe! Very Pretty either way and I am impressed with the quilting.

Rina 12-12-2011 12:34 AM

So beautiful! I love your colors.

BrendaK 12-12-2011 12:40 AM

This took my breath away. Gorgeous job.

What a great idea. You did good.

SandScraps 12-13-2011 03:42 AM

At frist I thought it was a crazy lot of work. You can't imagine the relief to find it's a print. It is really lovely!

I just purchased fabric to make a queen size quilt for our master bedroom out of blues, purples and greens in all triangles. The pattern is in the latest issue of BHG American Patchwork & Quilting. The pattern is called Building Blocks. It will be awhile before I get it done (I haven't started cutting the fabric yet). :-)
