    Default Quilt Kits?

    For the first time I bought a quilt kit. My right arm is injured (I am right handed) and I thought a quilt kit meant the pieces would come precut for that pattern. The kit arrived with yardage and pattern but I will need to cut it myself.

    Was this wrong thinking? Are there different types of kits?

    Sorry about your injury. All the kits that I have bought, have only been a pattern and fabric.

    Okay, I'm not sure where I got the notion, a little pun , that they came precut.

    I haven't bought a kit but like you, I assumed the pieces were cut.
    I like your pun
    Hope you feel better soon!

    Most kits are pattern and fabric for the quilt as shown. But there are some with precuts...particularly if there are applique pieces that are laser-cut.

    some applique quilt kits are laser cut but they are super expensive to the ones that aren't precut, but most kits are fabric and pattern

    I have only used 1 kit and it was a pattern with the fabric. The fabric was jelly rolls and some of the yardage was cut... but not all of it

    I've read that some kits don't even include the pattern, just the fabric. The norm is fabric + pattern. The fabric may consist of mostly pre-cuts (jelly roll, layer cake, etc.) but usually requires further cutting to make the quilt. Hope your arm is better soon.

    Jordan's in Oregon https://jordanfabrics.com/ has precut block sets. Her fabrics are quilt shop quality and laser cut, so the cut is very precise.

    There is a lady on Ebay cabe6677 who sells precut fabric kits. I have bought several but don't really like sewing block pieces that still have the selvedge on them so I haven't bought from her lately. Her cuts are pretty good. I like making HSTs with squares of fabric and hers are always triangles. I have to watch the bias with her cuts. She is reasonable.
