I love buying kits - I have bought several. I choose the kits I want to buy because they suit the look I am after. I was looking for a quilt project for my bedroom and then I noticed the patchwork party block kits. One finishing kit was the perfect look I was going for. I am having so much fun in assembling it.
I have bought other kits because I wanted to use a fabric range and didnt know how to use it - and then I saw a kit with a project that suited my needs.
And another kit I purchased I wanted to try a technique and didnt know what would work doing that technique. Buying a kit was a perfect opportunity to see what how it comes together, with all colours perfect.
I love picking out my fabrics - but sometimes the kit fits my need. I dont prewash anyway so I dont mind, that the fabric isnt prewashed, and all kits I have purchased require the buyer to cut the fabric, they arent precut. I have only had one OPPS cutting moment but there has always been plenty of fabric to recorrect. I have baggies of off cuts left overfrom the kit projects,
