I was in Joann's last weekend and found the perfect cheater piece for a baby quilt.
It was actually pieced by a 3-thread serger (as far as I can tell)

It's the most adorable thing! The green has dragonflies, white is chenille, and the pink is gingham (all flannel)... I found a pink gingham for the backing, and a solid maroon for the binding.

Perfect baby blanket for a friend that just had her first.

It was sent today!

I really like that. I've seen it at Hobby Lobby in several other colors, too. There is a pretty yellow/green one available.

It's great.

I like using cheater fabric and panels. They are wonderful for making baby quilts and quick wall-hangings for gifts. Yours has such lovely colors.
