    Anyone ever use kits and if so, where do you get them? Online sources?
    TIA!

    I love quilt kits. I like that I can see the finished project and can get to the good part of cutting and sewing. They are pricey, but the fabrics are always great quality. I buy most of my kits at the LQS, but I have purchased some on ebay. I have some favorite sellers that I use.

    I have several kits from Connecting Threads. I love their fabrics and their kits are great too.

    I have bought kits and panels at Keepsake Quilting and from LQS. I like to get the pattern and fabric together, then I don't have to worry about colors or not finding fabric.

    I just started on a quilt kit that my hubby got for me. I love it so far. He found it on ebay and it's wonderful fabric. I also love it because it's a pretty difficult block that i never would have tried. Because it was already cut, it made it easier!

    love kits....i have got some from Etsy..some Connecting Threads or LQS.
    Nice to just sit & sew..without going crazy trying to figure it all out.

    Kits can be very convenient but many stores don't supply the same fabric that is shown in the picture, so be careful and check up front.

    Connecting Threads is great because what you see is what you get.

    I use kits very often. Have bought a couple from Keepsake Quilting, but found one of those kits at almost half the price I'd paid at my LQS (same pattern & fabric). Now I check with LQS first ;)
