    I don't have any, and never have had any. To me they seem very pricey and I really just can't afford them. I'm happy making out with my pieces parts from thrift stores, etc. Now if I found one in the thrift store, I just might buy it. LOL

    I only had a couple until my cousin cleaned out her stash and now I've got a couple dozen. :roll: Most are for small things -- wallhangings or BOMs. I've also got a few "kits" that I've put together with fabric and a specific pattern in mind. Two are queen-sized and two are "quillows" for my little hooligans, er, grandsons. :lol: Hope to get to these last two before Christmas!!

    Two at present (going to a quilt store tomorrow). One was a bargain on shop hop and the other a beautiful blue and white kit which was a Christmas gift. I'm making small things trying to get good enough to do them justice.

    At least 10, but I'm hoping to start on the Fall ones soon.

    Don't think I have ever bought a kit. I like to design from scratch. But everyone is entitled to their own preference.

    I have two wall hanging kits. One for my brother and one for me.

    Same here, I have so much fabric already, so challenge myself to use fabric from my stash, if I see a pattern that I really like.

    No kits, but about a thousand yards of fabric, and 200 patterns!

    I have a couple of purchased kits, but mostly I make my own. If I see a pattern I like and fabric I like, I buy them at the same time and then tie them together so I don't get them separated in my stash. When I am ready for a project, I can pick one and everything is there.

    I did the very same thing. I have 6 or 7. I am retired full time but I haven't been able to find time to do much sewing. I'm busier now than I ever was.
