Sent away for material, already to start sewing as it is cut in strips with all matching colors. Animal prints. Looks beautiful.
Never purchased a kit before so I feel it is more expensive, but I did it anyhow. I do have backing and the filling so will make it less expensive that way.

post pics as soon as you can!! what colors is it?

Sounds like fun, can't wait to see pics.

kits are often more expensive- because we are willing to pay extra for the fabrics being put together for us--sometimes even though it seems (yard for yard) to be more expensive it really is not- because --- if your quilt kit has an assortment of 30 different fabrics (or more)to get them all out side of a kit you might have to buy a heck of alot more than you need- shops tend to have minimum cuts--if they will only cut 1/2 yards and you only need a 5" square---
in the kit you get what you need---at times it is the economical way to go

looking forward to pics!

Have fun!!

Yes kits do cost a lot more but then you don't have to choose the colors :)

The fun for me is picking the colors but many of my friends adore the kits as it saves what they feel is the stress of choosing fabrics. I had no idea shops have minimum cuts. Guess I've been lucky. We have several within 50-60 miles and none have ever suggested you have to buy a certain amount.
