That's such a cute baby quilt. A quilt is a quilt is a quilt no matter what fabric is used. I love it!!!

Love the fabric! Love the quilt! Giraffes are always a favorite.

​It is not a cheater...it is a quilt made from preprinted fabric top! Cute quilt!

Kassaundra 03-17-2019 09:58 AM

It is a whole cloth quilt.

DJ 03-17-2019 10:42 AM

SillySusan 03-17-2019 12:33 PM

I totally agree!

I used this same flannel and made a baby blanket lined with another flannel. It's so soft. Good job on the quilting!

SusieQOH 03-17-2019 02:24 PM

Who cares- it's adorable! :)

Jingle 03-17-2019 02:47 PM

Very pretty. No fabric is a cheater anything.

sue.ross.8782 03-17-2019 04:45 PM

Good use of the fabric. Lovely little quilt.:cool:

It is very cute!

lindaschipper 03-18-2019 03:13 AM

There are times we we all need something easy to work on....these fit the bill perfectly. Your stipple quilting looks wonderful.

2manyhobbies 03-18-2019 03:26 AM

Whomever it is made for will love it!

luvstoquilt 03-18-2019 04:07 AM

Cute quilt!

quilterpurpledog 03-18-2019 04:18 AM

The pre-printed fabric you used is just perfect for a baby quilt. I think that term 'cheater fabric 'needs to be retired! It used to be that such fabric was poorly printed on fabric that was not great. But, in today's fabric manufacturing the prints are digitally produced and are spectacular in detail and most often made on good quality fabric and are wonderful to work with.

Thank you everyone. I no longer feel like I cheated!

railroad 03-18-2019 07:39 AM

Love your baby quilt. It will be precious to the new babe!

klswift 03-18-2019 07:53 AM

It is still going to be loved and bring smiles to the face of the lucky one who gets it. No matter the 'work' put into a quilt, a person took the time to make it and give it to someone! (BTW - it is so cute!!)

Sallybear6 03-18-2019 10:33 AM

And very sweet!!

sJens 03-18-2019 12:32 PM

Super cute baby quilt.

Painiacs 03-18-2019 03:08 PM

Will be loved and used!! That's what counts!! It's very cute!!

ccthomas 03-18-2019 07:04 PM

Nice baby quilt.

romanojg 03-19-2019 03:49 AM

Super cute. I have at least one at home that I need to do. I bought it at a DIME event. It has the cheater quilt but came with embroidery quilt designs so that I can quilt it. Great job on this one.

I agree. And for kids when a quilt will be well used, its a great idea. It will have to withstand lots of washing and dragging etc. All of those things kids put them through and not having all of those block seams will make it last so much longer. We all need things to do in a hurry sometimes.

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!

meanmom 03-19-2019 03:29 PM

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.

Teen 03-19-2019 07:26 PM

Very sweet...

BrendaK 03-19-2019 07:32 PM

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!

jamsbuying 03-20-2019 01:53 PM

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

Grandma Peg 03-21-2019 09:54 AM
