For me, a kit is the pattern, the fabric needed along with thread put into a single bin or small box or even in a clear plastic bag. I can then just open the box/bin/bag and get started. All that pre-planning is done. I have read over the pattern and know if I really want to take it on. I many have too much or too little of a specific fabric, but I al least have made the choices for that pattern and set them aside so I don't use them for another project. All from stash except perhaps the backing. I have used most of my backing fabrics during the pandemic quilting spree. . At this time, I have 6 "kits" set in a pile. Each has a month written on it. Will each take a month? OH, Yeah and some longer, but I will have made a start on purposefully diminishing my stash and making use of the pattern I am curious to try.
It has worked for me this past year, so I am giving it a try again. At the very least, when my retreat comes along in April, I will have something all set to go with me.
