What to do
I purchased cheater quilt fabric without knowing what it was . Now that I have it I don't know what to do with it. I know I can count on this board for help and suggestions. Thank you

I had never heard of cheater quilt fabric until you posted here. I looked it up and found out that it's fabric with quilting patterns/blocks/etc. already printed on the fabric to make it "look" like it's been pieced. Now that I think back, I've seen this used on bed quilts in stores like Walmart, Target, etc. Maybe you could make pillow cases out of it. How much did you buy? How about some whole cloth charity quilts? You will still sandwich it together & quilt & bind it. I think it would be nice for charity quilts.

Without knowing what it is (looks like) and how much it is hard to recommend anything. If you want to practice FMQ that is a good fabric to practice. If you don't want to keep it around, I agree with Osewme - make it up and donate it to a charity.

I got one about 25 yrs ago. I did a lot of hand quilting on it. i gave it to my brother. when I got to his apt, about 5 yrs later, it was the dogs quilt all torn up. He said they loved it to death. also, he kept the backing side up! go figure. No more quilts for him, ever! I just too the blocks and hand quilted each one, then put some sashes between. have fun with it.
