Kitting, for me, is deciding on pattern I want to make first...then selecting fabric either from stash or buying new if I don't have what I need...then just placing it all in its own artbin...then I stack the artbin with other kitted projects. Then, I just grab it when I'm inspired to start on it. I don't pre-cut my fabrics because I may change my mind by the time I get to it and want to do something else with fabric. Sometimes, I may just have a focal fabric and, overtime, I pick up fabrics to add periodically. For example, it took me a year to buy all the fabric needed for one project. I think I carried swatches of colors to match up in my purse forever and whipped them out whenever I was out and about in the hope of finding the perfect fabric. This project is ready to go and will be my next one up.
