I do both too. But the only kits I've bought are the quick and easy ones - smaller throws or wall hangings. The kits give me an easy way to whip up something fairly easy and fairly fast in my limited time. Otherwise I also use patterns and then "agonize" over fabric selections for a good while before making a move to actually get to making something. I do enjoy the whole quilting process, but sometimes it takes a while to get through a state of inertia. But then maybe kits are the perfect solution to that problem.
I admire quilters that just don't seem to have a decision making problem and can produce beautiful, fun and gorgeous guilts as seen on this site.
