Very pretty and your quilting makes it look pieced. No one would know the difference.

I agree! By definition, a quilt is three layers affixed together. It IS a quilt, and a beautiful one at that. Think of the hundreds of hours piecing you saved! If anyone doesn't want one of my "cheater" quilts, they don't have to take it. I'll gladly keep it or find another owner. The love that goes into any quilt makes it special. PS: I call them "instant quilts" or "whole cloth". hehe

The quilter police really dictate to us at times, don't they? Ever watching and judging. I have to watch the police all the time; I have it BAD.

I really like your quilt and quilting.

I did not know that is what you call "them." I know when I was Younger and wanted to have a project for those "snowdays" I got some "cheater" fabric. They are great to give to someone to use and to use-up! I gave my mother a special sampler quilt I made and she used it up! not even a thread is left. She would have been just as happy with a cheater project.

a printed fabric is a printed fabric whether it's an edge to edge pattern or if it's a picture printed on the fabric...
so...
beautiful quilt- no cheating involved----please just remove that horrible word from your vocabulary---some newbies will be afraid to show us their wonderful works because of fear of being put down for it---and that is simply wrong

I will no longer use that word!!!! Thanks for your advice and thanks to everyone for their comments about my quilting.
