& the winner is...
I like kits but i don't always buy them. I always like to see some options within kits. Like having an original kit like the pattern is done in, and then being able to see them in a completely different style fabrics, like a civil war version and a modern version. It always lends (me anyway) to a whole new line of ideas and inspiration.

Think kits are great for beginners.
I "liked" Wondrous Woven Fabric facebook page!
I adore quilt kits and have used a few, but then I see all my quilt block books and think I should be able to just use those! ha ha ha.
I blogged about the giveaway....http://churchvillelane.blogspot.com/
I actually do by a lot of kits... but I find they normally inspire me to make the quilt again with my own fabric choices!
I blogged (www.inmysewingroom.com), tweeted, and posted to facebook about this giveaway!
Quilt kits are nice... I generally have more of an issue with buying patterns - except, in the case of your patterns, I don't think its something I could figure out how to do myself... in this case, a kit (with that ruler) & your patterns would be nice :)

I have never tried a quilt kit before but they look so sweet! One day I will just have to go out and buy one and try it! Thanks!!
I've never used a kit because I never wanted to make something that was exactly like something made by someone else. But a kit for a scrappy quilt, that may be a different story. Plus I could work in a few of my own favorite scraps along with the strips provided. That seems like a pretty good idea.
I purchase a LOT of quilt kits. If I see a sample of a pattern and I really like how it looks, why would I want to spend all my extra time trying to pick out fabric that looks similar to the sample, just buy the kit! Thanks for the giveaway.
I enjoy quilt kits and have bought several. I tend to buy them if the pattern requires lots of different fabrics or if the cuts of those fabrics are small, such as 1/4 yard. Lots of online shops require a 1/2 minimum so buying a kit is easier and let's me get an exact copy of the quilt that made me want to make the pattern in the first place.

I like quilt kits for gifts. It's nice to pick out something that suits the taste & decor of the person without having to source everything.
I like the idea of quilt kits for complex patterns that require a whole load of different fabrics in small amounts. It saves having to buy more fabric than needed.
I "like" Wondrous Woven Fabrics over on FB!
I rarely buy quilt kits as much of my enjoyment comes from selecting the fabrics for my projects.
As far as kits go, when I first started out quilting I really like kits. Just the fact that it took the "guess work" out of choosing fabrics. However now that I have been at it for a few years, I tend to shy away from them. I really enjoy the fabric/color choosing step of making a quilt. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I love kits! I sometimes have a problems picking out my fabric for a pattern. Especially if there are several fabrics needed. I tend to get overwhelmed and end up walking away not having bought anything. Kits make it soooo much easier for me. Thanks for the opportunity to win that amazing kit. I think it would be perfect for a baby quilt.
I FBed about the giveaway! :)
I have only bought a couple of kits, but it sure helps to do so, when there are so many lovely fabrics and I can't decide which ones to use!! :0)
I liked Wondrous Wovens on FB. Thanks for the chance, and for introducing me to a new fabric source!
I like quilt kits because it takes all the work and guessing out of cutting the peices. My only complaint would be that sometimes, kits for patterns I love don't come with fabric I love.
I want to win this one so much I blogged about it! ;)

I am always slightly worried that they skimp on the fabric yardage or that, with just enough yardage supplied, if I make an error I will be screwed.

I've never used a quilt kit before, so I can't say whether I'd like it or not. I enjoy the 'hunt' of picking the fabric for my quilts, watching it come together, and not knowing exactly what the end-result will be.

I don't usually buy quilt kits. I like picking out fabrics myself, so maybe that is the reason!!!
i've never purchased a quilt kit before, i just finished my first quilt - but i can see how they would be super convienent, fabric selection is still a little daunting to me.

I love the idea of quilts but after getting two and having them sit around for a year don't really think they're my style!
"liked" wonderous woven but wish there was a "loved" button!
I wouldn't use quilt kits all the time as I like to play around with fabrics and scraps and to do my own thing. I think kits are fabulous though for when I want to make something in a hurry, or to have a project that I don't have to think too much about to take on a trip or to a retreat.
Checked out wondrous woven fabrics on Facebook & "liked" them.
I "liked" them on Facebook
I have mixed feelings about quilt kits...i just finished my first top from a kit and while it was really nice to have everything pulled together for me it was more expensive. I also discovered that i don't like working with perches because i love the smell of freshy washed fabrics, which isn't an option with precuts. Silly, perhaps, but true.
I'm not a big fan of quilt kits. I've only purchased one, and still haven't used it. I think I like to tweak things, too much.
"What do you think about quilt kits?"
I love quilt kits and buy them quite often!
Any kinds of kits you'd like to see? Like the wonderful gift, I'd like to see more quilt kits that include the necessary rulers and notions to ensure successful results. There could also be links to online video tutorials for tips to using rulers and templates.
I posted on FB about this great give away.

Kits are okay. I usually like to choose my own fabrics but once in awhile I think I can't beat the ones in a kit.
I just "liked" Wondrous Woven on FB.
I like quilt kits in theory, but I've never actually purchased a kit. Then again I've only purchased a couple patterns ever. Of course, I've only made a handful of quilts so far... but I have plans for lots and lots more!
"What do you think about quilt kits?" I'm not into quilt kits though purchased one that "had to have" and it is sitting unmade. Normally they are just so very expensive so I tend to collect fabrics bit by bit instead.
Any kinds of kits you'd like to see? I'd like to see more quilt kits that are less expensive bed-sized kits and include everything necessary including the backing and binding, thread to match.
What a great giveaway! I have purchased one quilt kit and liked it although I guess I didn't notice that the backing fabric wasn't included when I purchased it so was a tad disappointed - but it was my fault. :) I would love to win this quilt kit!

I Love kits, because it makes it easy to make a quilt, with not much thinking. I know I have enough fabric and that it will look as good as my piecing can make it when I am done. GO KITS!
I liked Wondrous Woven Fabrics on FB.
I love quilt kits. It takes the pressure off of me in picking fabrics. And I see to get to sewing them faster than when I buy fabric.
Sweet giveaway! I'll admit kits aren't my first choice as I love picking out fabric for quilts and don't want to make the same thing as others - but - I love this pattern and this fabric and would totally love to win this!
I am already a follower on facebook - hope that counts
Thanks for the link to the Facebook page, I have found and 'liked' it :o) great giveaweay BTW!
I love kits- they save so much time for me coz i find actaully making the decision on which fabrics to use the hardest - too many choices!
I like WW on Facebook
I've only been quilting for 2 months so have ALOT to learn, a kit sounds great to me, I'll know I have exactly what I need and all the instructions. :o)
I have never bought a quilt kit, typically because I like to bargain shop and buy fabrics as they are on sale. But I'd certainly use one!
I like WFabrics on fb :)
I still haven't bought a kit yet; I think it's the rebel in me always wanting to go my own way...
I've purchased a few kits - mostly for small projects or projects that use a big variety of fabrics. It makes sense when buying the variety of fabrics would be more costly. I'd love to win so that I'd have the ruler to use with your other new patterns that feature it. Kathie L in Allentown
I don't buy kits ever. I totally enjoy the sourcing, shopping and choosing of all the elements in my quilts...it'a all part of the fun!

Quilt kits... they are great! I fell in love with one last weekend and didn't buy it.... I'm regretting it so badly!
ok I tweeted it... not something I do often but I did it for this!!!
I really do Like Wondrous woven fabrics, adn I've also 'liked' them on facebook. Would have loved them if I could, but, theres only one button.
Re: Quilt Kits - I like them, mostly because I will decide 'today is quilt making day' and i'll want to do the whole thing that one day. If I have a pre organized kit already, fabric (possibly precut.... ;)) already matched, already sure its enough fabric to make the quilt in mind... perfectness.
I have tweeted about the giveaway!
Generally, I don't buy the quilt kits because I just like choosing my own fabric! I have bought kits before when the fabric chosen by the artist was EXACTLY what I wanted, but that only happened once.
Kits--I never buy them, because I just like to buy random fabrics that I like and make up my own patterns. However, kits are good for people that want to get what they need and get working.
Jennifer
As I have a lot, and I mean LOTS of fabric in my stash - I don't like kits. I love putting fabrics together. As a former employee in 2 quilt stores, I already have more fabric than I will ever use! I do buy charm squares and jelly rolls, and love sewing with them.
LIked WW on FB!
I love to choose my own fabrics and own patterns, but I did buy one kit once a few years ago...it was expensive, but I knew I could never ever replicate anything like it. FYI: it is still in it's original packaging. I'm saving it for a, well, I don't know what I'm saving it for. Just have not dug into it yet. But when it is finished, it will be fabulous!
I haven't bought too many kits, sometimes I'll buy one just for the fabric!

honestly, i'm not usually crazy about quilt kits- the colors are a little limited for my taste. but i like bold, crazy colors. i would love to see some put together by you, though!

I love kits as fabrics are quite difficult to find in Australia sometimes and it is nice to have the fabric / pattern and templates all in one package.
I "Liked" wondrous woven fabrics on FB
Quilt kits are a great idea if you have trouble picking fabrics and for building up your fabric stash too!
Some quilt kits I like, some not so much.
Some fabrics I like, some need my "touch".
But the end results are what counts,
a finished quilt to announce!
(But the smaller ones are easiest to finsh!)

I like the idea of quilt kits - but I haven't bought one yet. It usually ends up being too much of an investment at one time .... I usually have to break up my purchases into smaller amounts. But I really like the thought that I'd have everything needed all at once.
I love WWF! And "like" them on FB too.
I've never used a quilt kit. I like the idea of having some of the decisions made for you and the "one stop shop" feel...but often those decisions are a big part of the fun!

To be honest with my personal preference, I'm not really into quilt kits because I like the experience of finding my own gorgeous fabric and customizing the quilt design. Plus, I worry that if I made one wrong cut, I could make the whole kit unusable!
Nevertheless, I would love to win your beautiful quilt kit. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love quilt kits! It takes the anciety out of quilting, especially when it is a gift for a special occasion. Not everybody is as color & design 'happy' and a little help with a kit goes a long way! Thanks so much - I have been admiring all of your patterns - and the lazy angle sure looks interesting!
I like Wondrous Woven on Facebook. Beautiful fabric!
I haven't purchased any quilt kits yet. I usually have my favorite fabrics in mind when I see a pattern.
liked wondrous woven, I have been eyeing this angle ruler!
I have never bought a quilt kit - I am afraid I would mess up and need more fabric, or that I might not like all the fabrics in there. Maybe someday I will try one if I get too lazy to cut all my fabric.
posted sale on my fb account.
I have never bought one, I like to do my own thing.
Thanks for the chance to win - I enjoy quilt kits - when we go to the beach each summer (for a week), I usually bring one along for fun.

I love quilt kits because I'm fairly new to quilting. This lets me explore my creative side but a good portion of the color-matching is done for me!
I like Wondrous Woven Fabrics on FB - Cathy is one of my favorite on-line sellers!!
I love the idea of quilt kits but rarely buy them because I make more charity quilts than anything else, and use mostly donated fabrics so I have to combine my own!
I haven't tried quilt kits yet but I like the fact that they are already almost cut up. :)

Quilt kits are nice, but I really like the joy of picking out the fabrics for myself. However this jelly roll makes an awesome version of this quilt. (pick me -hint hint)
Love quilt kits - makes everything so easy - I am lazy!
I like quilt kits, but I seem to buy them and then just keep them around. Speaking of which, I need to go work on one now :)

I love quilt kits for certain things. I really like the ones that quilt shops put together individually. That way they are different from the mass produced quilt kits. When I make a quilt, I want it to be different than everyone else's.
I like kits for smaller projects, that way I don't have to dig through my stash to find small amounts of fabric.
Thanks!

I like kits, I think they serve a useful purpose. I usually pick my own fabrics because I feel it is more my quilt then. But I do like the convenience of a kit.
I like pattern kits only because I am a novice and they are easy to follow. I am not interested in complicated designs!
mystica123athotmaildotcom
I liked on facebook! And really enjoyed poking around the site, more fabric temptations.
And i buy a few quilt kits. Its nice to have them stashed for the times when I "need" a quilt for a gift but sometimes I don't feel like it has to be my unique project but I still want to give something handmade by me. totally confusing...lol?
I'm kinda scared of kits. I feel like one wrong cut and I would have messed up the whole thing and would have to buy a lot of fabric. But I haven't tried one... Yet! Now I would love a pre-cut kit! I would love to skip cutting and just be able to piece. That's why I bought an accuquilt. But I haven't tried too much yet.
I think kits are a great way to start out though I have not used one before.
I checked out Wonderous Woven Fabrics and "liked" them.
I like quilt kits a lot and have ordered quite a few in the past. Sometimes when I want something quick, I just pull out a kit and off I go. I usually add some of my own fabric to the pattern just to make it slightly different.
Regarding "What do you think about quilt kits?" I don't like them. I don't want a quilt just like another. If I do I still want to have the option of changing something out. I kinda feel the same way about jelly rolls but have totally gotten over it.

I do buy kits and love them. Makes it so easy to pull together something wonderful without the guess work of picking fabrics.
I have never gotten a quilt kit, I always get a pattern, then pick out fabrics that work with it. A kit would be nice though, saves me the thinking and I can just enjoy making something beautiful.

Do I like kits? Yes, I do. That has been a change in my quilting life. I use to feel like it was somehow cheating to buy a kit, but choosing fabrics can sometimes become overwhelming, so if I see a kit with a pattern, fabric, colorway that I like, I'll buy it. If I change out a fabric or two, it's my quilt and I do it.

I have never purchased a quilt kit...I suppose it would have to be the exact pattern/fabric that I liked, which would be a tough combo to sell for a lot of people, I think.

I battle over kits. Most of my sewing is my own creation, but there is much to learn by following patterns which enhances my own.
I like Wondrous Fabrics on FB. They are located in my state, will have to visit them often!
I have to really like the fabric in the kit, but usually only buy the pattern and coordinate the fabrics myself so that I can make the quilt larger than the kit size.

I like quilt kits, but half the fun and enjoyment comes from picking your own fabrics to go with a pattern. Hours and hours of pondering and playing!!
I love the idea of quilt kits, but I always feel like I should be using up the fabrics in my stash so I never buy them. Love your patterns, thanks for the giveaway!
Although I have never purchased a quilt kit, I'd love to win yours! Thanks for the chance!!
#2 I have not yet bought a quilt kit. I like precuts and fabric packs. But I prefer to choose the pattern on my own.
