I spent part of my afternoon cutting strips and squares from fabric remnants...and I'll do more at a later time. I also labeled the sizes of the squares and strips for when I get at them to create something from them...by then I will have added more!

If you start making quilts to enter into judged shows, some of them don't allow quilts that were made form kits, because you can not take credit for selecting the colors. If you are making quilts for gifts, for sale, or for yourself, no, is not lazy. I love the quilting part and don't mind making a whole cloth every once in a while so I don't have to do the piecing.

don't know about where you live but we have a local quilt store that will rent the machine and 3 dies for 3 days for $30. You could do a marathon cut and have some "kits" at a price where you don't have to invest in or store the stuff. We are lucky really. Within 30-45 minutes of my house there are 4 LQS's, Joann's, Hancock's, Hobby Lobby x 2, and a walmart with fabric.
