10 Chevron Cheater Quilts To Die For

This week designers were asked to create cheater quilt patterns to fill an entire yard of fabric, and the result was a collection of stunning designs. The winner is a lovely design based on Australian wildflowers by Julie Lynch, who was one of the finalists from the Fabric8 contest in the spring. Congratulations, Julie! All of the top ten will look amazing when they're quilted.
