When I make up a quilt kit I am usually putting together the fabrics for the top. I will coordinate in groups of 5 colors from light to dark plus a possible stripe border just incase I decide to add something like this in the end. If I have a specific pattern in mind I will add it to the bag. I have several of these that have been in a cedar chest for several years awaiting my attention. Right now I am so excited about using my Accuquilt that kits have taken a different direction and now I am cutting pieces and putting the pieces in baggies and then into a larger bag. I will use the patterns online or on the envelope that the die comes in without printing it out. I know I can always get it on line so I save space and paper and ink this way. I mark the larger baggie and am making more kits for sewing together this way. Fabric choices are not an issue with my very large stash and I am always pulling fabrics out for different patterns and am cutting away.
