Our quilt guild has done pre cut kits. We have done a lot of bricks and blocks quilts. They are very easy and no seams to match. Another suggestion is to have a quilting class to teach the quilt pattern that you have chosen. In the class show how to set 1/4" guide on the machine sticky back velcro works really great. One activity I used to do was quilt till you drop. The leader chose a quilt pattern and each person signed up in a group. We would have 2 sewers (they would have to set their 1/4" and check to see it was the same and then coordinate it) one cutter and one presser. It was so much fun and we did quilts for the children's hospital and family shelters. Those quilts we tied so they were all completed that night! Machine quilting them is wonderful just make sure that you don't burn out your machine quilters. Good luck and yes we have had a couple that we just quietly unsew and re sew.
