Gentler Times Quilt Kits
Quilt kits are the perfect gift to give yourself as a quilter, especially when they’re scrumptiously scrappy quilts like these! From a flock of gentle sheep to a garden of busy bees, pick up a quilt kit and have everything you need to make your next favorite project.
Cherish Quilt Kit
This quilt is one to cherish for generations to come! Lori’s quilt pattern is thorough yet concise, making these vintage-inspired flip corner units easy to master. The Cherish Quilt Kit includes a paper copy of the pattern, and we cut the fabric here at Fat Quarter Shop. That means you get generous cuts that you can starch with zero worries!
Gentle Blossom Quilt Kit
The sweetest precut—a Jolly Bar, of course—paired with the vibrant garden of colors and prints in the Genter Times collection, makes for one gorgeous quilt that is just waiting to blossom to life at your sewing machine. While this kit is cut by us with generous fabric cuts, keep in mind that some pieces, like precuts, may not allow for extra shrinkage.
Gentle Flock Quilt Kit
The Gentle Flock quilt combines novelty and traditional blocks for a truly charming result. The pattern’s detailed and concise instructions will easily shepherd you from the traditional heart-filled churn dash blocks to the novelty sheep and flower blocks and through the nine patches and a petal border. This one is great for intermediate quilters and confident beginners who are eager to challenge their skills with smaller pieces!
Delightful Quilt Kit
If you’re looking for something extra special to gift yourself or a special quilter in your life, the Delightful Quilt Kit is a truly delightful option. Not only do you get all the fabric you need to complete this Dresden-style quilt, but you will also receive the 8″ Pie Ruler and the kit-exclusive quilt pattern. Plus, the whole thing comes packaged with care in a keepsake box that will happily store your notions and future quilting projects once this one is done!

In the spacious 10″ x 9.5″ x 3″ keepsake box, you get everything you need to sew up the 33.5″ x 84.5″ runner top, including fabric for the binding! You will need to pick up 2.75 yards of fabric for the backing, and you have a ton of great yardage to pick from in this collection!
