I bought all of this fabric this week...I actually have more... :shock:

But the center is a cheater peice...so I only had to put on borders....I thought I needed to add a bit more because I felt it was to easy for some reason...so I added the appliqued vines...when I quilt it...I think I will also quilt in some extra leaves and vines......Here are the pictures:

So what if the center is a "cheater". I think we need a better term than "cheater". I really like it and think the colors are great. As for your appliqued vines...pure genius. That is the perfect finishing touch :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

i like the vines.

That is lovely. I have heard the panels called "Smart quilts" I like that one better.

I agree with JanetM. Cheater sounds so negative. Let's call it Predetermined, or Unified, or Uncut, or Non-pieced, anything but cheater. By the way, I love it! It was pretty before but adding the vines really set it off.

i think it is awesome, never saw a panel like that before! (don't like the "cheater" word either...

I'm not sure I like "smart" either, it makes it sound like pieced quilts are "dumb". How about QUICK QUILTS? Easy to say, positive sound. Personally I like it.

I also want to know where you got that fabric. I'd like to have some of it too, maybe in blues, or purples.

I like "Quickies" ....their are some really pretty ones out there. :thumbup:
