Mostly I buy "loose" fabric cuts but I have many kits, as well. When I first saw this topic, I thought it said "Do you buy quilts?" which I've also done ONCE.
I bought a 4" patch block quilt top for $40 from a local antique store. It's just the quilt top but I'm going to tie it with the backing of muslin, like they did in the "olden days".

I'm not a kit buyer usually. I bought a kit years ago on a shop hop, still look at the kit every once in a whole and say some day...
I bought one last week on vacation and did sew it mostly together.
I tend not to like the color choices that are in kits. I like to pick out my own. So if I can buy the pattern, I will and get my own fabric for the project.

I bought one because it was reduced...patriotic that I guess was left over from 4th of July. It was half price. I'm a red, white and blue fanatic...lol.
It's small...15" X 22" but it includes everything but batting. It will make a cute wall hanging...I have a LOT of patriotic things displayed in our family room.
