I came one earlier asking about pressing seams open, and got a lot of great info from many on the board. I was just looking at the Fons & Porter site and noticed that the quilt that I plan to start soon is offered as a precut kit. It costs $163 dollars, and my DH nearly choked when he heard that, but I was thinking since I have a hard time cutting, (can't stand up for more than a minute, so cut sitting down, therefore accuracy is hard (but not impossible) to achieve, and since the picture in the Fons and Porter magazine is what caught his eye, maybe it would be a good idea to get the kit! I know that if I go to my LQS the fabric will be excellent but costly. Probably not as costly as the precut kit, but the kit surely would be easier and faster.
My questions are: Has anyone ever bought a precut kit from Fons & Porter? Were the pieces cut accurately?
Did you get the same color pieces as was shown in the catalog? What was the quality of the fabric?
