no it comes with pattern and fabric, you have to cut it yourself

I have bought several quilt kits and really liked all of them. I think most kits are more reasonably priced than buying the fabric and pattern would be. I wish I could find more that I really like. I'm not good with picking out colors and patterns. The kits take care of everything for me, but lately I haven't seen any that I really like. I am considering one at Connecting Threads called "Dripping Diamonds", but you have to purchase a book along with the kit. I'm still thinking. - Cynthia

I've purchased a few kits from Connecting Threads and I've loved them. Usually when I make a quilt I want it to be a one of a kind, but the kits that I've purchased from CT have been AMAZING. I got a table runner kit that said that I would only get one runner out of the kit. I actually got 2 out of it they had so much extra fabric.

That being said, I purchased 2 of their new Canterbury kits (the one that's on the cover of their catalogue) one for me (which I never do) and one to make for a Christmas gift for a friend.

CT kits are fantastic especially if they're on clearance!

I have purchased lots and lots of quilt kits from BitsnPieces in Wayne, Michigan and have never been disappointed. Never been short on fabric.

I have always had quite a bit more fabric than needed in any kit I've bought, no matter where I bought it.

I'm with the smart lady from Missouri, pieces, I don't buy kits because I want it all to my choice and work.

Now having said that I just signed up with Keepsake Quilting to do the BOM for the Civil War quilt. I reasoned that the fabric selection will be more accurate for the period than I might select. Hope I'm right.

I have made 3 quilts from CT's kits and have 6 I think do do yet. I have also bought large kits,just to have the fabric.I am very happy with them.Especially when they are on Clearance. CT is the only site I have ordered from. I have ALL their threads and love them. Today I Just finished a quilt for a 10 yr. old[Daughter of my DH employees] who has cancer.It came out so cute and I used CT fabrics and threads. I love their books too. I am always going through them for ideas.

I have bought wall hanging kits that are applique...like a puppy themed or a holloween theme. I even bought mini quilt that had a theme for each month....but I love applique and scenery quilts. Anything bigger than wall hanging I like to pick out my own quilt material.
I did just by a whole block of the month kit from joanns that was on clearance, for putting together with my Autistic daughter. She is afraid of sharp things like rotary cutters so this kit was ideal!!! She got a sewing machine from Santa.

I have had excess fabric from each kit from CT. One was short of fat quarter and had no problem getting a replacement. No problems.

As a quilter who always prewashes, I would be concerned if I bought a kit to use as a bed quilt that the fabrics might shrink differentially or bleed when they were washed, not a good thing and a disappointment for the recipient if I made it as a gift. For a wall hanging, I think they would be fine.

I have bought many many kits from CT and have never been disappointed. As a relatively new quilter, I especially buy the clearance ones as they give me practice for all the different skills of piecing and applique. Many have been under $10 and I could not have found all of the fabric and pattern for that price. I will continue to order as well as picking out my own patterns and fabrics. Great wall hangings, table toppers, and throws.

I'd rather do my own. They invariably have too little fabric or too much fabric, or ugly fabric etc. It's cheaper to do one's own.

I try to buy quilt kits. I'm not good at picking fabric and usually if I'm attracted to a kit, it's because of the colors and that's why I want it. I've bought from Keepsake quilting and Connecting Threads with no problems and adequate material. No more kits from Joann's-cuts are not good

I bought my first one last week and received it yesterday. It was from Fat Quarter Shop and I ordered the kit because I didn't want to try to find all the fabrics I needed. It is a quilt for my 2-year old GS called "Spot's Favorite Colors" and I wanted the quilt to look exactly like the picture I saw. I really don't mind if it will be made by many others. That's unusual for me because I'm a big fan of scrap quilts. I haven't checked everything yet, but I'm really hoping I have the correct amounts of fabric.

Love the colors and log cabins are a favorite of mine. I find it so much easier to get all the colors at once, the way you want them. Keepsake Quilting has good kits and I bought one of their fat quarter medleys for Yellow Brick Road and was so pleased with the fabrics. I haven't made a scrap quilt yet, the challenge of picking colors would be ttoo much for me.

I have purchased a few quilt kits when there is a technique or a particular type of fabric that I want to experience using. Today I bought one of the Gee's Bend Quilt kits at my local Quilting store. I want to focus on the techniques and idea of the quilt and use this for later quilts of my own design. This way I also probably save money because when I make my own designs I purchase way more fabric than I actually need because I don't decide ahead of time - rather I like to have a lot to choose from as I go. So - occasionally, yes, I buy a quilt kit for these reasons. Sometimes it is just really great to focus on the techniques and construction and not have to worry about the fabrics. I swear I save money this way.

I purchased several quilt kits when I first started quilting. I just haven't made any of them yet. They do look very nice on the shelf in my closet though! I really do want to make them but my nieces and nephews keep having babies that need quilts and it's never ending to keep the craft shop supplied. Someday.....

Actually, my avatar is from a kit.

I bought a couple of kits and did not much care for the fabrics and found that several of the patterns less than clear. Now I just buy the pattern and raid my stash and I am much happier.

I would not hesitate to buy a kit from Connecting Threads. The kits are priced reasonably, going by the regular cost of material you recieve and the pattern is given to you. The fabric quality is great. The cost of their material is low. I would say it is a great value!

I ordered a kit from Connecting Threads and was very satisfied with it. The fabric was same as pictured, the yardage was very generous. I also like their thread.

Keepsake Quilts always have fabric left over and if there is ever any kind of problem they have excellent customer service and always stand behind their products.

I have bought from Keepsake and find their kits excellent.

I have also bought quite a few from Fons & Porter and they are great too. Always plenty of fabric.

The only quilt kit I have ever bought was from Joanns. The design was cute but the fabric was not a very good quality. I would stick with Keepsake, Fons and Porter and Connecting Threads, that way you know the fabric will be high quality.

I have bought quilt kits and have been satisfied with the fabric. One the whole kit came at once, and two others were BOM. Kits save you time and worry in picking fabrics. They can also save you money on fabric purchases. It is true if you make an error you may not have enough fabric. I would never purchase a kit from Ebay. Connecting Threads, Handcock's of Paducah, or Keepsake Quilting are all good sources of kits.

Do you think the price of the kits are very expensive? I keep thinking I could get that fabric (or something similar) for less. Is that just wishful thinking? I can't see spending $99 on a quilt kit and still have to buy the backing.

I h ave purchased two kits from CT and there was ample fabric. I was very well satified.

I love keepsakequilting.com kits better.

I got frustrated with quilt kits from a LQS. They always cut the fabric sooooooo wonky. I figured with the first one that it's a one time error, it happens. 2nd one, same deal. Didn't buy anything again. So I usually skip them, since I alter my patterns anyway :D

I have bought and used several kits from CT. The fabric is great and never short of fabric - usually enough leftover for scraps on a new quilt. I enjoy the quilt kits as sometimes I would never put together the color schemes, and as I buy the clearance kits it gives me a chance to try a quilt I may not have thought of making.
