1. Panel Kits

When it comes to quilting, it doesn’t get any simpler than a panel kit. For a quick quilt to make in a weekend, this is the obvious choice.

If you aren’t familiar with panel kits, they’re essentially a large fabric print that requires no blocking or patchworking. All you have to do is affix the binding and backing, and then quilt your preferred pattern over the surface of the quilt.

Novelty panel kits, featuring beloved characters from properties like My Little Pony and Cars are perfect for kids. If it has their favorite character AND it’s stitched up with love, then it’ll be a gift they’ll treasure for years to come.

2. Scrappy Star Kits

Want a more traditional-looking handmade quilt blanket than a panel kit that still doesn’t take a whole lot of time? Your solution is in ready-to-sew kits.

Cutting out the fabric is by far the most time-consuming part of quilting. When all the fabric is cut for you, you have everything you need to make a quick quilt in a weekend.

Scrappy Stars are a classic pattern that look more involved than they are. We’ve coordinated the fabric colors for you, so you don’t have to worry about getting picky about which colors look best.
