I remember my 1st kit from Connecting Threads was at a discount for decent size quilt but I had other ideas for it. Was able to make 2 oversized lap quilts for a set of twins plus had fabric leftover to make yet another oversized lap quilt for another baby but add some of the same background fabric to it which I already had. They do give you more than enough fabrics which was surprising to me plus it had fabrics I never thought to order till I saw it in the kit. Went back and ordered yardage of some of the fabrics. I'm not a fan of kits normally so was pleasantly surprised.

I'm lucky that in the Seattle area I get most of my fabric from the thrift stores. Seems like I still have to buy something for each project but it's a lot easier when most of the yardage is only $1-2 a yard. Not every place has fabric like that though, and not every trip is successful...

I"ve done it, too. Sometimes the fabric gets used together either just those fabrics or with a few additions. Sometimes I cannibalize the kit for other projects. It doesn't matter to me either way

I have bought kits that I did not care for the pattern and used the fabric for something else and it worked well for me.

The thrift store around me don't have any fabric. I am not able to drive so, I just was thinking of mail orders.

Craft, can you get to yard/garage sales? Just this past weekend I picked up over a dozen fat quarters at 25 cents a piece. That is the best I have ever done, usually I can find some at $1. each. But being Canadian ( we winter in Arizona) that is way better that what it would usually cost me.

I've bought from this source and the fabric I got was quality. PLUS they have a ton of free patterns for jelly roll.

Some of the fabric is pretty reasonable. Thanks for telling me about it.
