Have you wanted to create a quilt from scratch but have no idea what pattern to design or fabric to choose?
I know the feeling and trust me, you are not alone when you feel overwhelmed or confused about what to do next.
Luckily for us, there are quilt kits on the market that take all the guesswork out of designing a pattern, choosing fabrics, and figuring out how much fabric to purchase.
Read on to learn what to expect from a modern quilt kit and look at our fun selection of quilt kits that you can purchase today.
Why Use A Quilt Kit Modern Design?
There are a few reasons why someone may want to use a quilt kit to create a quilt top. The first and most obvious reason is it’s just plain easier to purchase a quilt kit than coming up with a design and choosing fabrics on your own.
Contemporary quilt kit curators put a lot of time and thought into fabric selection and pattern design.
These kits can save you hours that you can then put towards the actual construction of your quilt top.
Some quilters don’t like choosing coordinating fabrics for themselves, so they would prefer a kit with everything already bundled together. Modern quilt fabrics can be a little tricky to match with other fabrics. Quilt kits make it much easier on those who prefer sewing over fabric selection.
