No two folks learn quilting the same way. Some individuals gain an interest in from a quilting magazine or perhaps from a relative. For me, my nanna was an avid quilter. One stormy day, I was at her home and she suggested that I'd 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 Is 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.

What Is 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 incorporates the material, patterns and directions concerning how to make the selected quilt. The one thing they do not have is the tools, you are expected to provide your own.
Occasionally there are 'block of the month' type kits, where a different bit of material is sent to you each month and you build it up over the year, but these are not the commonest.
Kits For Beginners
These kits are the perfect way for first-timers to learn how to make quilts. Everything is provided so you don't have to worry about not having the right materials.
The real value comes from the directions. The instructions are made for folk who've never made a quilt before. They contain all the information and guides you need 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 just for newbies, there are more advanced and complicated patterns available for the more highly 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 folks to give them a go!
