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!

go to connecting threads website. they have really good prices, and lots of baby,wall hangings ect.

great prices too! if you spend 50 bucks you get free shipping!

Yellow brick road or Turning twenty are my favorites to start with.

Try Fabric Cafe. They have kits that are really easy to do, including pattern and fabric and they are small quilts. I've made several and they are great for beginners.

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

Oh my, I just took one glance at the page and will probably be on this site for hours!! LOL

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.

PM me or look at my old sales ads...I still have a few kits left!

Painiacs, I think we must have been separated at birth and you are really my sister!!!!! LOL

Being afraid to start in cutting fabric, I think is pretty normal for a lot of us in the beginning. In '97 when I started, my neighbor at that time is the one that got me to try. For over a year, she would have to cut my block pieces for me. I was that petrified. Then she told me I was going to bite the bullet and do it with her watching me. So I cut out 5-6 inch sqares. Then graduated on up. It got me over my fear but took time. Or start small and cut from fat quarters if lg pieces of fabric scares you. You will do fine. A kit may be easiest for you. If you run into issues, someone here is always around to offer advice or help. Good Luck. Oh!!! And remember it is just fabric you will be cutting and not cutting off someones body parts. LOL When my neighbor told me that, I busted out laughing and realized that she was right. If I screwed it up, it went into the scrap basket.

sign up for fabric cafe newsletter, they usually come in the email.
i see the connecting threads ones in quilt magazines occasionally. i will check to see if i still have a code for fabric fabric cafe..
