i am in love with this quilt for my soon to be Nephew. The mom is decorating in trains. I thought it would be perfect, even as a play rug.

But is this too expensive? Maybe I can find a promo code somewhere.

what ya think?

well it's only 36x45 so it is just over two yds of fabric. if you really love the ones they offer for the kit, it's worth it.
if not you'd have to have or buy different ones to make it.

It's not horribly priced, considering they include the fabric for the back and the binding... it's more expensive than if you picked your own fabrics, but if you really like the fabrics and size, I say go for it.

it is adorable, I love the pattern, I tried to find the pattern by googling but I cant find it. FQS said they sell this one exclusively.

If you especially like the fabric, I would go for it. I buy very few quits, but if I like everything about the kit or afraid the fabric may not be available when I go to look for it. I buy it.

You get the fabric in the right amounts, plus the pattern, PLUS you said it would be perfect- so I vote yes it's worth it!

Usually with kits they're cheaper than buying the fabric individually. Plus if you need 1/4 yard of something, the kit would include it but most websites require a 1/2 or 1 yd minimum cut, so you end up buying way more fabric than if you just buy the kit... from experience

The kits just seem expensive since they're upfront about costing $50. The fabric is deceptive since each yard is only $8 or whatever, and your cart has the final total

It doesn't look that difficult to guestimate the block size , number, and dimension of the final quilt.
