Quilt kits
I was thinking about purchasing a quilt kit. I've purchased one before I long time ago from Joann's and was very disappointed. All the precut squares were different sizes and nothing lined up. I said after that I would never do it again. I'm tempted on giving it another go. I saw a really pretty one in my recent cateloge from keepsake quilting. Does anyone have any experience with their kits and if so do you like them? Or what about from other companies?

I've bought kits from Keepsake, Connecting Threads, and Crafts. All three have been fine. There was sufficient fabric to complete the project and usually the pattern was pretty easy . I'd say go for it; its worth ytring.

Personally speaking, I don't buy kits or pre-cuts. I'll buy the pattern or figure the pattern out and buy or use the fabrics I want to use. To me, using a kit, is like going to a store and buying mass produced clothing, they're all the same colors/style, the only thing different is the size, this is my opinion.

If it has the colors/fabrics you want and it is how you want it I'd say go for it. I have also had bad luck with Joann's and with most kits put together by stores except one. I have had no problems with Connecting threads and Moda brand.

As Jo C points out, a kit from Keepsake Quilting won't be pre-cut pieces, so you won't run into the problem of pieces being the wrong size. I wouldn't hesitate buying a kit (or anything) from this company.

I have only bought one, and there was a piece that was the wrong size. The store very nicely sent me some more of the same fabric so I could complete the project, but I'm not sure I would want to spend the money on another.
