When you make it from a kit, yes, thee will be others out thee exactly like yours. But, what are the chances that you will ever see one of those? You made it, so it is still your quilt! BTW, that looks great!

I have made three quilts from kits. I prefer to cut my own pieces from the kits. The tumbler I made was pre-cut. Some pieces were not as perfect as the rest so I ended up getting rid of the not so perfect. Luckily there were enough to finish the quilt. I bound it in my own fabric stash because it didn’t come with finishing fabric.

It turned out beautifully. My Daughter bought me a quilt kit several years ago. I made it according to pattern. They were very generous with the fabric. I would only buy a kit if I liked everything about it. I would always follow the pattern.

I don't generally buy kits, but this one is lovely!

Your quilting is wonderful and so are the blocks and colors. I envy your father-in-law & his partner.

I love the secondary pattern that appears. Your quilt is beautiful.

I need a couple quick quilts. I know this would not be too quick, but I think I will try it for one of the quilts I need to make.

Sew pretty! I love purples! I have a few kits that I purchased because I liked the pattern, now a few years down the road, not so much! I will cannibalize these for something else.

Glad you did sew up the kit! Very pretty quilt!
I do have a couple of kits, but in stash and haven't started...
