I'm not particularly creative but love quilting, so I find that kits work for me. I've gotten some great deals on Ebay on some beautiful kits. Right now I have too many and feel a little stagnant that all the decisions on how to put it together have been made for me. So at the risk of contradicting myself, yes I really like kits but can be an easy (and lazy) way to quilt. As I write this I realize I miss the creative freedom you have with putting my own colors, prints, shapes, etc together. I may have to force myself to just find a pattern and remember how it is to create. I'm afraid of making mistakes or having something turn out ugly. My this little reply sounds like venting, anyway, yes I use kits, like them but br careful not to get stuck only using them.
