Craftsy Quilting Kit Spree
On Black Friday, I didn’t venture out of the house. We started decorating by putting up my village pieces, setting up the Christmas train around the village, and decorating the Christmas tree. I guess I also fell prey to a few online sales . . . specifically Craftsy. They had quilting kits on sale then and also on another day. I ended up ordering FOUR of them. What?!! All of these kits include the pattern and fabrics for the quilt top and maybe even the binding. I thought you might like to see what caught my eye, and what you will see us complete sometime during 2018.
Kit #1 – Puzzle Tropic
Tropical batiks are used to form a 3D chain-link fence pattern in this quilt that finishes 48″ x 60″. I can see us making this in other fabrics as well and maybe even adding a border for a good size throw.
Kit #2 – Block Out Modern
This kit features Lily & Loom fabric in what they call a ‘modern’ pattern. I don’t really see the modern part, but okay. The quilt finishes at 43″ x 50″ so that is a generous baby quilt. The fabric colors really draw me in every time I look at this picture.
Kit #3 – Disappearing Nine-Patch
I have been wanting to make a disappearing patch quilt, whether it is of the four- or nine-patch variety. Since I liked the fabric in this one, I thought it might be a good one to give it a try. It features an animal print and nice bright colors. At 75″ x 90″ that is perhaps a twin size quilt. What do you think?
Kit #4 – Charmburst Space Camp
I was drawn to this kit mostly because of its fabric by Lily and Loom called Space Camp. It uses space-theme fabrics AND it has stars. That will be a fun one to make for Dominic, I think. The block is the variable star and it finishes at 69″ x 69″. Shoot – a square quilt. Maybe we’ll have to make some minor changes to get a rectangle out of it!
Which one do you think we should make first?

I’m loving Charm Burst Space Camp. It is a happy quilt.
Deana,
I’m ashamed a bit to say that now of these have been started yet. But they are on my UFO list for this year! ~smile~ Roseanne
What!!! They got you BIG time! Glad you did it and not me. I think you should make the first quilt. It looks so pretty! Go for the gusto! 🙂
Hi again,
Yes, they did get me big time! HAHA My project pile for the new year is getting rather high . . . ~smile~ Roseanne
You must me the only quilter that has piles of unfinished projects! LOL!! 🙂
I love all of them but….wait for it….my vote is #4! Are you surprised? I have only completed one Craftsy kit and it was the red, white, and blue stars quilt that I posted. I was more than pleased with it. The fabrics were very good quality and I even had some left over and added a larger border. I am looking forward to following along while you all work on these. Hope you all are ready for Christmas. 🙂
Hi Peggy,
What?!! You like the one with stars in it?! I can’t believe it. HAHA! I am not ready yet . . . I still have some cookies to bake, a cheesecake to make, presents to wrap, and more . . . I’m not thinking about it yet. But it will all come together somehow. 😉 ~smile~ Roseanne
It always does. It is funny that Dec 25 comes the same time every year and it always sneaks up on us.
You sure went on a spree but such great value. One of the first quilts I made a couple of years ago was a disappearing nine match learned from Jenni at Missouri. It was fun and I liked it. Space Camp one will be awesome.
Hi Kathryn,
I think that Space Camp fabric is so darn cool! I just had to get it and make it for Dominic. I like the D9P, too, and will probably start with that one especially if it’s easy. ~smile~ Roseanne
I love them all, but it was the disappearing nine patch in the linky picture that prompted me to stop in.
I never even thought about sites such as Craftsy having black Friday or Cyber Monday sales. I need to keep that in mind for next year.
Hi Marsha,
I’ll bet they might have an after-Christmas sale as well. I don’t recall from last year – maybe that’s a good thing! HAHA The D9P seems to be the big winner so far. ~smile~ Roseanne
Nice choices! I always buy kits and then break them up and use the fabric for other projects. It’s a great way to buy discounted fabrics! That said, I like the fabric in the 9-patch the best. It would be fun to work on something bright during the winter! (Merry Christmas to you and yours!)
Hi Mari,
Merry Merry Christmas to you and your family as well. That makes four votes for the D9P . . . I think that makes it the big winner. ~smile~ Roseanne
I agree with Vicki. The D9P is easy and will come together quickly!
Hi Shannon,
That’s two votes for the D9P . . . and I’m anxious to make one anyway so we could say three votes. ~smile~ Roseanne
They’re all cute patterns and the fabrics are nice too. The Puzzle Tropic appeals to me, I do that one first. Just leave a row off charm burst space camp then you’ll easily have a rectangle quilt. I like rectangle quilts better too. I also wonder sometimes what makes a ‘modern’ quilt. I’ve decided if I use brighter fabrics, then it’s modern. But the fabrics in Block Out Modern don’t look that bright. It will make a lovely quilt whether it’s modern or old fashioned. Have a Blessed Christmas!
Hi Gretchen,
The Puzzle Tropic is appealing – I agree! It is a different color palette than what we usually go for, and we don’t use batiks often either. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well. I know we will have a lot of fun and laughter. ~smile~ Roseanne
I think you should do the D9P first, it is easy and fun to see it come together. I have done a few of these and love the process.
Hi Vicki,
I agree! That’s why I picked that picture to put in the header – it looks quick and easy. ~smile~ Roseanne
