Margie's Cheater Quilt
 

I have had so much fun with an old cheater quilt we found in my sister's closet. I quilted a different pattern in the middle of each flower and outlined and echoed the rest. I love how it turned out and am kinda sad that I'll have to give it back to my sister!

Stunning. Maybe you could share it! It is superb. You would never know it was a cheater cloth, not that that matters. It is fabulous.
peace

Wow! you did fantastic quilting! A truly lovely quilt.

Shhh don't tell, but I like the back better than the front! This turned out wonderful and you made a cheater panel a wonderful work of art.

Awesome! It turned out great!

why would you place such a Negative term on such a beautiful quilt? i see nothing 'cheating' about it---it always saddens me when people use such a horrible term...I've made many beautiful wonderful quilts using panals and designer fabrics---they always took thought, work, materials, time....there was certainly nothing 'cheating' about it...i so wish that word would go away!
the quilt is beautiful! not a thing of negativity---cheating---at all

Wow, that is beautifull.

Linda, that has to be one of the prettiest cheater fabrics I have ever seen. And now that it is quilted, I would not even consider it a cheater fabric, more like a canvas for you to create on. Very nice.

Spectacular quilting!

it's gorgeous

Thanks for you comment! I actually think it's kinda funny. People who don't quilt don't know what it means and i have to explain to them that it's pre-printed fabric. I've been getting all kinds of accolades about my applique abilities on my facebook page and I want you quilters to know right up front it's pre-printed!!!

gorgeous quilt and quilting!!!!

Thanks! I would have never guessed it would turn out this nice. This is one case where the quilting made the quilt. It's a very old and inexpensive fabric but it's very hard to tell even in person that it's a cheater quilt!

It's not a "cheater", it's a BEAUTIFUL "wholecloth"!

that is the best looking cheater cloth I've ever seen. Love your quilting on it. I think she should share it with you. :)

oh you really made that cheater cloth worth it's weight in gold! it's lovely!!

The quilting makes it one spectacular quilt

one of the first quilts i did was with cheater fabric. i added borders and hand quilted designs in them. it looked great! i was happy.

Cheater my hiney! THERE is NOTHING cheater about your time, energy, quilting.....Gorgeous quilt. :thumbup:

Holy cow! That is stunning. Maybe you could tell her it got 'lost' someplace in the house. (That would be very believable at my house, LOL

Wow! I love it! I am learning to long arm quilt and I hope to be able to quilt as well as you do some day. Great job!

That is absolutely amazing. I would love to have this cheater cloth today. You made it wonderful!

wow! great quilting!

My sister had intended to hand quilt it but life got in the way, so I offered to finish it. I think she'll be happy, too!

Wow. Great job.

Your quilting is great!

It is just gorgeous and the first "cheater" I have ever seen quilted. You have the quilt sandwich.. so what is the cheating about ? I wouldn't want to give it back either.

That is gorgeous!! Your quilting really is fabulous! Thats what made it so beautiful. I know your sister will love it!

WOW!!! Your quilting is amazing!!!! I agree it is not a cheater it is a work of art!

Wow!! I have to say that when I saw the fabric I thought it was ... well ... ugly. but WOW!! You've made a silk purse out of a sows ear!!

Wow it's a beautiful quilt! At least you will get to see it from time to time.

The quilting is amazing.

That is beautiful.

nice quilting

Absolutely gorgeous!

Ck I agree with you! I dislike the word cheater as well, makes it sound like your doing something wrong by using it. Now on to the quilt. It is nothing sort of stunning! If I could of guessed a whole piece of yardage could of come out looking like that, I would of had my antenna's out looking for just the right piece to have quilted. Your work is amazing and I sure wouldn't want to give it up either. Maybe you can flip a coin for it. If you lose you've lost nothing but if you win well just lets say you'd be truly blessed. Great Job both of you!

Whoa! That is awesome!

Ditto!!!!!!!!
