Yes, kits are a good way to make a quilt. They do cost a bit more but by the time you shop and or search for pattern and fabric you have made up that money by saving time, more time to sew. Keepsake has a great reputation for their kits. Craftsy also has good kits and have great sales when they switch out inventory. I also make my own kits from my stash. I choose the pattern and then pull all the fabrics to use and keep them together in a separate bag. This is a good way to use what you have and you never run out of projects, lol. (Like that would ever happen to a quilter.)
