So, this was my second quilt. It is a queen size. I found this material at Wal-mart and really liked the pattern so I bought enough to sew it together and tie it. I know it's cheating..haha but it's still a quilt. This was the first time I had tied a quilt. I might go back and add a few knots. I was thrilled though. lol. I just realized I didn't show the binding in the picture, it is a chocolate color, it makes the colors stand out very nicely.

Love all the plaids! Great use of lights and darks too! I like a tied quilt, it's not cheating, just a different technique!

Your quilt is very pretty Heather. I tie most of all my quilts, and no i don't feel like we are cheating by tying them. I'm just learning to quilt by hand. I think you did a great job!!!!!!

nice! looks comfy and warm. was the purchased as yardage or did you make ALL those squares?....

It does look country!! And your intersections are fabulous!! You go girl!! :D

Actually to clear things up, I bought the material as yardage...I didn't cut and piece each square. That is why I called it cheating, because I just bought a few yards worth of this beautiful fabric and cut it in half then sewed the sections together and put the binding on it. When I made this, I was planning to make a tied quilt so I could get it done in a weekend. Then, I came across this material at Wal-Mart and decided to use it instead of actually piecing. lol

Nice job! It still qualifies as a quilt and you still put some hard labor in it.

Your cheater looks good :lol: I did buy two xtra wide cheater material.. I purchased the double wedding ring... As soon I as I get the hinterberg set up I am using them as my practice material.. The way I look at it a quilt is a quilt is a quilt :wink:

Nice work!
My Grandma ALWAYS ties her quilts. I remember playing with the yarn when I was a kid. Actually, my Mom always ties hers, too, and there is one lying on my leg right now. It's also just a solid piece of fabric (flannel).
A quilt is a quilt is a quilt...no matter the how. :D
Pretty fabric, too!
