No two people learn quilting the same way. A few individuals gain an interest in from a books or perhaps from a friend. For me, my nanna was an enthusiastic quilter. One wet day, I was at her house and she suggested that I might like to have a go at quilting.
She had got a quilting kit a few weeks before and had waited till I was bored before giving it to me, so this is how I learned about quilting kits and how I made my first quilt with a green quilt design.
What's A Quilting Kit?
There are a couple of different types, but the standard quilting kit is an all in one package for making a quilt from start to finish.
It includes the material, patterns and instructions on how to make the chosen quilt. The only thing they don't have is the tools, you're expected to provide your own.
Infrequently there are 'block of the month' type kits, where a different bit of material is sent to you once a month and you build it up over the year, but these aren't the most common.
Kits For Beginners
These kits are the ideal way for first-timers to discover how to make quilts. Everything is provided so you don't have to fret about not having the correct bits and pieces.
The most worth comes from the instructions. The directions are made for people who have never made a quilt before. They contain all of the info and guides you have to know to turn the material into the quilt.
Just be certain to pick one that is labeled for beginners.
Kits For Veteran Quilters
Kits aren't only for beginners, there are much more advanced and challenging patterns available for the more experienced quilter.
These are nice if you feel just like a less complicated challenge, you don't have to spend time coming up with and measuring out a design. You can just pick a pattern you love and get to work!
Hopefully this has given you a good idea on what quilt kits are and has inspired some new people to give them a go!
