pbbbbbbbbbbt! In all honsety, I didn't see them as a way to get
children interested in sewing/quilting. What I saw were extremely
garish fabrics thrown together and packaged together for $5 a pop.....

That is not my cup of tea, but it will probably appeal to a variety of
people. Buying commercially made patchwork blocks.... hmm? Is it really
any different than piecing your own top and then paying to have it
commercially quilted? I think not. Either way, I would not feel it was
'completely' my quilt. I do not fault anyone who wants to work that way
though. To each her own!
PAT, who is too frugal to do either any how!

Was in JoAnns a few days ago just looking, wasting time...testing out the
new glasses (definite difference, but NO headaches!!) and I saw the most
disgusting thing they could ever put in front of a
quilter......pre-pieced quilt blocks!! Yep, the entire block put
together already, about $5 per block. All you need to do is buy however
many you need for your desired size, stitche them together into
rows/columns and add the batting/backing

I was glad, however to notice I wasn't the only one disgusted...a lady
and her daughter were in the store looking for fabric for a halloween
costume, and when Mom saw them, she loudly said, "You've got to be
kidding me!!"
