Hi all,
I use to post here years ago, always wanted to learn to quilt, when I
finally got the nerve to try it my mother got sick and I never did. I
am no longer able to use my hands like I use to could and would like
to find a precut quilt for a beginner. I also will be machine
quilting. Anyone got any ideas where I might find such a quilt?
Hope to find one and be seeing more of you all,
Jacqueline

I don't know if this will help, but Joann Fabrics has Block of the
Month kits, where all the fabric is pre-cut. I believe that all of the
monthly kits are available for purchase now, so you wouldn't be waiting
for the next set of blocks to be released. The only thing that I have
found is that the fabric is not always cut completely accurately,
although this has been a one-off occurrence.

Hi Jacqueline--The very first quilt I ever did was a pre-cut kit. I
bought it from a seller on e-bay. I wish I could remember her name--it
was very accurate and went together like a breeze. Just what I needed
to get enough confidence to cut my own for the next one. You might
check e-bay and see what's out there.
Or maybe you could check with your local quilt shop, maybe they'll know
some quilting ladies who would take on the project of cutting for you.
Good luck! Cutting is one of my favorite things now.

Sherry I have checked ebay and there are several there but I too dumb
to know which kind to get. Also, I live in a very small town and
would have to drive 3 hours to a quilting shop. We only have one
grocery store in our town. A few whiskey stores, 2 dollar stores, a
florist, 3 funeral homes 5 gas stations, and I think maybe 3 furniture
stores. Very small coal mining town.
I appreciate you letting me know this. I asked one ebayer about her
quilts and she said they were all small pieces and not good for a
newbie.
I doubt that I will ever be able to cut my own, because of my hands
but some day I may try. Then I have very poor vision too so that
would be a problem I believe. I use to post to this group back years
ago, at the time there was a lady that had her house to burn and she
lost all her scrap material she had saved and almost everyone on the
group sent her one yard of material. I can remember going out to buy
that yard of material. Had to drive an hour to get it but I did.

Here's your solution!
http://www.easyquiltkits.com/
They sell pre-cut quilt kits. Now, I haven't tried any of them
personally, but this may just be what you are hoping for. They have
beginner quilts and all sizes.
My mom made my double-wedding ring quilt from a pre-cut quilt kit. But I
don't know if that store is still in business or exactly the name of it.
I know it was almost across the street from the Vermont Teddy Bear
Company, but that's not exactly useful when locating a quilt shop that
may have closed in the 10 years since she finished it, and probably 18
or so years since she bought the kit. The last time I drove by the shop
and remember it being there was 15 years ago.
