There is Still Time to Make a Quilt for Christmas

Christmas Wreath by Laura Sorton

If you want to give someone a quilt for Christmas, all is not lost. You can make what quilter  Laura Sorton calls a cheater quilt. Her version is shown here.

A cheater quilt is one that is made from a pre-printed panel. There are many panels available this time of year.

Take a trip to your favorite quilt shop. Pick up a panel, sandwich it, quilt it and voila! You have a quilt.

Remember, when you give a gift, it is the though that counts. The recipient is rarely expecting a masterpiece, and will treasure any quilt.
