I made 3 of them at Christmas time, added borders and quilted them and all my girls loved them! I read somewhere that the "cheater" fabric came about around the 1900's. To help out the housewives sewing. They could get a quilt down in alot less time. Thats how it was marketed anyways. I've never used it before but it was great and quick. (Sometimes I'm a live by the seat kind of gal!! LOL)

I think they are wonderful for auctions and donations and kids that don't appreciate the time it takes. Price sounds right
I never thought about it like this. But, you are so right!! hehehe! Love your "take" on things. FOTFLMAO
