About this design:



Chevrons are big right now, and for good reason! The challenge for this contest was to create a one-yard cheater quilt in the style of a zig-zag, or chevron, quilt. Cheater quilts feature fabric designed and printed to look like patchwork or applique so that you can skip the piecework and just quilt and bind the fabric to make your finished quilt. The winner this week was the talented Australian designer Julie Lynch of CJLDesigns.
