I only did one quilt from a kit and it was because I won the kit in our guild drawing. It was really a cute quilt, pine trees, etc. but the fabric was horrible. Instead of doing it as large as I should have, I cut it down to a large wall hanging or small quilt. It looked ok when I finished but I don't think I would ever buy a kit because of this experience. The fabric was very misshapen and no matter what I did, it fought me.
