Do you buy quilt kits??
#81
I have only bought one quilt kit. Actually, it was a sampler block of the month. Two of the block kits were short on fabric, so my quilt is smaller than it was supposed to be. I couldn't match the fabric so I had to eliminate some blocks and make a smaller quilt. It was a learning experience.

I pick my own fabrics. Mostly there is a fabric or 2 in kits I don't like. Usually I totally change up the colors. I actually bought my first kit on Friday. I have been quilting about 8 years. The LQS had a kit for a baby quilt that just spoke to me. I need a fairly quick baby quilt and it is perfect for my niece.

I have bought Christmas kit, still sitting in the sack, thought for sure I would have gotten it done for this Christmas, for sure next Christmas. i love the muted earth tone colors, i fear to I will blunder in the cutting process and ruin the entire thing. While at the Fons and Porter fabric sale found some of the same fabric in the kit, I snatched that up Safety net!!!

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.

I love to buy kits and I love using my own fabric with patterns. Connecting Threads always has beautiful patterns with a nice selection of fabric - and the clearance ones are such a great deal! I also enjoy buying kits from places when I'm on vacation. It brings back great memories from that vacation.

If its on sale, like 30 to 50% off, and I love the kit I'll buy it. Now that being said I've only bought 3 kits so far and they were scrappy quilts. Meaning I could add whatever fabrics I wanted to it.

I buy patterns or see one online; buy my fabrics or use from my stash. I've only bought a couple of kits and was not impressed with them. They are very stingy with fabrics and if you make a mistake, you can run into problems.
