I make lots of quilts from kits; but I have never found a kit where the pieces were pre cut. Tonight, I am busy cutting the fabric in a kit. Several of the fabric pieces are in 1/8 yard WOF. Going to my LQS for 1/8 yd. of fabric is not my idea of fun. Yes, a kit is usually more expensive; but the time I save by not having to search for 16 different fabrics makes it worthwhile for me. I know, making a quilt from a kit is not as creative; but this is a quilt with lots of appliqué and lots of shades of purple. The foster child for whom I am making it will love the quilt and that is important to me. Plus, I am enjoying making the quilt from this kit.
