Not much help but if I run across it again, I will let you know!

To the OP, I'm glad you found what you wanted.
I did email Fons and Porter since I was curious about how their kits are put together. This is the response I received:
Thank you for your email. We only have a few pre-cut kits available. If you enter pre-cut in the search window, they will come up. Otherwise, the kits include the fabrics for the top and binding and you would need to cut the fabrics.

Thank you all for your great ideas and help. I have found a precut kit at Hearthside Quilts , that is very similar to the one that Fons and Porter had advertised and am going to purchase it. Can hardly wait to get it actually, since the cutting has always been a real chore for me! :-( I will probably still cut fabric for small wallhangings and such, but for big quilts I'll buy a precut kit or ask my LQS lady if she will cut for me as several of you have suggested. I never would have thought of that on my own!

It doesn't seem to be clear whether the pieces are pre-cut by looking at the description of the kits. You might want to call them to be sure.
Have fun!

I am going to sell precut pieces at craft stores and fair this summer...trying to figure out what I would charge. 163.00 sounds very expensive...I was thining more on the line of 20.00 more that the cost of the fabric.
