Do You Like to Sew Quilt 'Kits'?
#51
I'm really not very good at picking my own fabrics...the ladies in the shop I frequent are very helpful when I need it. I have bought a few kits when they were on sale, and have had no problem with putting them together. I don't buy pre-cut as I like to cut my own. When I first started quilting/sewing, the JoAnn's kits were very helpful as they were pre-cut, and although my sewing was not the greatest, they turned out ok, and I learned a lot about piecing.

I have made three or four quilts using kits and have had good luck with them. So far, the fabric has always been generous. I agree that you need to check carefully to be sure you have the fabrics that are on the sample if that is important to you.

After reading all of the comments I can see that each individual person has an opinion based on their own experience. I identify with the ones who are not sure if they are picking out the best colors. So for me, a kit is a blessing. I have made three, have three more half price ones waiting and after reading through the instructions, I think I will be able to do them. I have ordered from Fons and Porter, and Connecting thread.The quality of the material was better than I was expecting. Hope this helps some ladies who are are undecided.
