Although there are some gorgeous ones out there, I can't afford the price of the quilt kits, so I just find free patterns on the web that looks interesting & go from there with my stash. Occasionally I'll have to fill in with a color or two, but mostly use my stash. I have recently gotten two patterns only which I intend to make & am very excited about. I have the pattern though, so I can take my time collecting the fabrics as I can afford. Have fun!!
