Quilt Kits for Beginners
I LOVE a good quilt kit and when you’re just starting out, quilt kits are a fantastic way to receive your pattern and materials all at once without buying too much or too little of anything. In some cases you’ll need to shop for the batting and backing separately, but by that point you’ll have the quilt front complete and can take it straight into a store to browse colors. #Yay.
The Ultimate Beginner Quilt Kit
The Ultimate Beginner Quilt Kit Featuring Bella Solids by Moda Fabrics tops my list of quilt patterns for beginners because it’s both beautiful and well priced for a starter project. CLICK HERE to purchase this kit and you’ll receive all of the materials you need to complete this gorgeous quilt (quilt top, binding and backing).
You’ll also receive a full color pattern and a series of video tutorials that will walk you through every step of the way. Your finished quilt will measure approximately 50.5″ x 50.5″ (128.27cm x 128.27cm).
