Ok, I admit it...I'm chicken to start trying to cut my fabric!! I'm just overwhelmed with what quilt pattern to start with and I even have books to browse. So...what would be a great relatively inexpensive quilt kit (full kit with fabric) to purchase to start with. I would prefer a wall hanging, baby quilt or something small like this.

Suggestions, please??

PS: If anyone has one like this to sell, please PM me!! I may have something to trade!

A few Moda charm packs...just sew up the squares together....perfect. They put in all different matching fabics and always look wonderful.

Most kits require that you cut fabric. However, if, like me, the co-ordination of fabrics is overwhelming, by all means get a kit.

Connecting Threads has some great kits for sale. That's a great way to get started.
