Precut Quilt Kits

Our pre-cut quilt kits are for beginners and confident beginners who want to finish a quilt without spending a weekend at the cutting mat. Every kit in this collection includes the backing fabric, except our precut-friendly kits. Our Signature and First Stitch kits bundle coordinated quilt shop fabrics, a step-by-step pattern, backing and binding, with the pieces cut to size. Our precut-friendly kits are the fabric for one of our free patterns, built around precuts. Below you will find how the two kinds of kit differ, how our skill levels work, which finished sizes we carry, and answers to the questions quilters ask before they choose a kit.

Pre-cut quilt kits, cut and ready to sew

Every Signature and First Stitch kit here arrives cut, matched and ready to sew. The fabrics for the top, the coordinating backing, the binding and the pattern instructions are all included in one box, so the kit is complete when you open it. You supply the sewing machine, thread and basic tools.

Cutting is where most quilt projects stall. It takes more time than any other step, and it is the step that turns a project into a pile in the corner. A precut kit removes it. Each pre-cut comes individually packed, and we include extra pieces in case a seam goes wrong, so you open the box and you are already sewing.

Precut-friendly kits for our free patterns

Our precut-friendly kits work a little differently. Each one is the fabric for one of our free quilt patterns, put together from precut strips and squares and counted for that quilt. The pattern is a free PDF you download from its pattern page. Most of the cutting is already done, though the pattern still has a few cuts of its own, and it walks you through them.

Most precut-friendly kits include the binding. Backing, batting and thread are not included, and each product page lists exactly what is in the box. You can see them all with the precut-friendly filter on this page.

Pre-cut kits by skill level

Each kit is labeled with its level, so you can choose by skill instead of by guesswork. Beginner kits such as Floral Patchwork, Modern Patchwork, Pool Party and Honor and Valor use simple piecing and a clear pattern, and Floral Patchwork uses just two shapes. Confident beginner kits such as Stars at Sea, First Bloom, Garden Gate and Prairie Posies suit a quilter who has finished a first quilt and wants half square triangles to work with. Experienced quilters pick them too, when they want a quick, relaxing project between bigger quilts.

The instructions go step by step, with illustrations and colored outlines that show which way each piece faces. Our tutorial videos let you watch, pause and rewind until a step clicks.

Sizes from throw to queen

Most of our quilt kits finish around 60 x 72 inches, a throw size for the sofa or the foot of a bed. Prairie Posies finishes at 68 x 90.5 inches. Peppermint Poinsettias and Heartland Home make a 60 x 72 inch throw with one kit, or an 84 x 96 inch queen with two, so those are the options to look at for a bed quilt. Whatever the size, the backing is included, except in our precut-friendly kits.

Seasonal and patriotic kits

We add kits through the year: Peppermint Poinsettias for Christmas, Meadowland and Garden Gate for fall, and Wild Reflections for winter. For America's 250th, Because of the Brave, Honor and Valor and Heartland Home bring the red, white and blue, and the first two are also in our patriotic fabric collection. If you want a seasonal quilt finished in time for the holidays, order early to leave yourself time to sew it.

Prefer to cut your own?

If you would rather design your own quilt, our precut fabric collection has strips and squares ready to mix with other fabrics.

Beginner friendly, 60 day satisfaction guarantee, and real quilting support if you get stuck.

Quilt kit questions

Are quilt kits worth it?

A kit takes the two slowest jobs off your list: choosing fabrics that work together and cutting them. Every kit here except the precut-friendly kits also includes the backing, the binding and the pattern instructions, so you are not buying extra yardage to finish the quilt.

Do your quilt kits include the backing?

Yes. Every Signature and First Stitch kit includes the backing and the binding, so the kit is complete when you open it. The exception is our precut-friendly kits, which include the fabric for the quilt top and, in most cases, the binding, but not the backing.

What is the best quilt kit for a beginner?

Start with a kit labeled Beginner. Floral Patchwork uses just two shapes and chain piecing, and Modern Patchwork teaches chain piecing and nesting seams. Once one quilt is finished, a confident beginner kit such as Stars at Sea adds half square triangles.

Where can I find a no-cutting quilt kit?

Our Signature and First Stitch kits come with the pieces cut to size, so you skip the cutting day and the quilt becomes a much quicker project. Precut-friendly kits leave a few cuts for you, and the pattern shows you each one.
