I recently saw where a friend made a 'twister ruler' quilt using cheater fabric, it was real cute and no sewing all the squares together first.
Your panel is real cute as is!

Don't you just love cheater fabric! It's not really cheating because it is a quilt. Years ago I purchased several panels at JoAnn's that looked like appliqued baby quilts. I gave one to one of my husbands friends. They treasure it. They think I appliqued it. I didn't think I would be invited to the baby shower and was so I didn't have time to make one. No one will ever know.

Not all quilts are meant to last forever and ever. It's the love and care that goes into one that make the quilt great.

Very sweet...

I also used this fabric to make a quilt for a friend. I used fleece on the back and they loved it. You did a super job. If the project does what it was intended for, then all's good. BrendaK

That is precious! Love it! I agree with all comments - making a quilt isn't cheating at all! Great job and baby will love it!

Looks great! Really cute fabric. I will have to search for it.

What a cute baby quilt!

Cute quilt! I like the giraffes!
