Quilt kit. Now what?

Quilt kit. Now what?
I received 2 quilt kits for Christmas. They are from connecting threads. The one I want to start with is called 'The Great Frame Up'. The fabrics are beautiful, but the directions are overwhelming! I am so afraid of making the first cut in case I make a mistake! Am I the only one to have this fear?

Take it one step at a time. Read the directions several times... until you have confidence you understand the entire set of directions. If you think there is a step you might be confused .. make a sample block using scrap fabric. Which kit did you get? .. Remember we are all here to help if you get stuck.

Quilt kits can be scary. I agree totally. If the fabric is a recognizable fabric, see if it is available in cut yardage, that might take the pressure off and you can enjoy your kit. Or look to see if you have coordinating fabrics in your stash or LQS. Just in case the accident happens and you make a mistake, there is always a way to add more fabric to create a beautiful one of a kind quilt.
