I like the idea of having them for retirement, but my retirement is still 19 years away....is it too soon to start saving projects for that? LOL
It is never too soon to add to your future projects (Stash

:lol: ) retirement will come before you know it. Dar

Wow did you get a steal.

No kits here. I never buy kits. Always buy yardage.

I have 8 kits and just finished 2 tops. They are all from Connecting Threads. I love their fabric and it is made in the USA!

I have one & did the same thing you did. I bought it knowing I would soon be retiring & wouldn't want to spend so much when the income was less.

I have two. One is an Angle applique I bought years ago and have been afraid to do. Another was given to me it is an incomplete project with flamingos.

None. I've heard horror stories where someone waited too long to cut out one and the kit didn't contain quite enough fabric and she couldn't find any. I like to pick out my own fabrics anyway. That's one of the funnest parts of quilting. Also, lots of kits have fabrics from the same line and I can go to the quilt shop and look at all the different fabric lines and it's a sure thing that my quilt will look good if I buy fabrics from the same line and colorway. Let me rephrase that - the colors in my quilt will all blend. That doesn't necessarily mean my quilt will look good.

When I started quilting I grabbed shoe boxes and put co-ordinating fabric all in and ideas or the pattern. Slowly worked on but now retired I went thru and put in clear boxes and labeled. Found there is over 80! I will have to quilt more hours than I ever worked to finish them. I like to work on more than one project for variation. But keep on stashing you will want them some day and you may not be able to afford them like me.

I don't have any kit stashes as of yet, being pretty new to the quilt world, i've been working on my fabric stash. And now to find I need to work on a kit stash. For the love of fabric!!! lol
