The Cheater Quilt

Warning: what you are about to see is not really a quilt.




My aunt gave me this kit for my birthday last year, and it is hanging in my sewing room. The kit involved cutting out the fabric and then pushing it into a laser-cut foam board with a thin layer of batting. A butter knife and scissors were the only tools this quilt required. The kit even included the fabric. I have to admit, it took me longer to finish than I thought it would, because there were so many pieces to cut out. If you've never quilted, are afraid of sewing but like the look, this kit and others like it are a good option. Happy fake quilting!
