I am not a kit person but have done some. Often kits do not have the fabric that is pictured so now I double check on that before buying it. Also I have never bought a totally precut kit. I always seem to struggle with directions and or fabric that is too short. Currently I am working on a kit with many Fat Quarters. Eventhough I am struggling with the directions I am pleased to find there is alot of extra fabric so if I have a mistake I am OK. I also really enjoy the planning and designing of a quilt, especially scrappy, including the fabrics so kits usually do not appeal as much to me.
