    I have never bought a kit as I have always assumed that they are an expensive way to buy fabric. I also never buy fat quarters as I find them more expensive than yardage too. If I like a fabric, I always buy at least one metre of it and maybe two or three!

    I have never used kits as I have way to much fabric to use up and I like to pick my own colors and patterns.

    Kits are a terrific way to add to my stash. I buy them on sale and use the fabrics in other quilts. I seldom buy a kit to make what the kit is for. Right now I have about 32, but I've opened many and added the fabric to my folded fabric. I buy when the kit 60% - 75% off. I don't care what the kit pattern is, I just want the fabric.

    I have at least 5. And I saw a table runner kit on line I want to get. Bad, bad, bad.

    I like to chose my own colors. I do have one kit and it is for a pillow case...waiting for the DGD to come over for an afternoon.

    Only 3 purchased-that-way kits. Don't want to count how many projects I have with fabrics reserved for each specifically. But, hey, only 3 kits. I'm awesome!

    I also bought them for retirement.But I love the new stuff too. I don't want to begin to count. I started to do a list once---- oh my gosh, i quit. I have started sewing on some tho. I still like them and when I don't I will use the fabric somehwere else.

Everything from queen size quilt, wall hangings, table runners, and bags. I started buying kits while I was working so that when I retire fully time, and don't have as much income to spend I would have my stash to go to.
    So how many kits do you have?? or am I the only one kit stashing??
    I think 4 or 5. Just started one for a wreath and hate it. I wasted a lot of time on it and don't like it. Am rethinking the whole kit thing.
