When choosing quilting fabrics & thread, the key question is simple: do you need material to cut and arrange, or thread to sew the pieces together? The 5+ LBS Cotton Fabric Scraps Remnants Quilting Sewing Crafts Suprise Box 100 is built around an assortment of cotton remnants, while the 10 Spool Cotton Sewing Thread Set Quilting Embroidery Craft Thread Kit is a focused sewing supply. They solve different project bottlenecks, so the better pick depends on where your quilt is in the process.
Quick verdict
- Choose the cotton fabric box if you want a multicolor assortment for patchwork, quilting, or general craft projects and can work with varied piece shapes and prints.
- Choose the thread set if you already have fabric and need cotton thread for quilting, piecing, machine sewing, or hand sewing.
- Price context: the fabric box is listed at $35.49, while the thread set is $19.99, a $15.50 spread between them.

Where each product wins
The fabric box wins for patchwork material
Its strongest point is the combination of at least 5 pounds of new, 100% cotton remnants and a broad assortment of possible cuts, including strips, squares, rectangles, and irregular pieces. The multicolor format suits quilters who enjoy combining varied prints rather than starting with one specified fabric design.
The thread set wins for stitching variety
The thread kit is the more direct match for sewing tasks. It is described as 50-weight, 100% cotton thread for quilting, piecing, and everyday sewing, and it is suitable for both sewing machines and hand sewing. The listed colors span reds, orange, greens, blues, purples, and yellow, giving a project several color directions without adding fabric to the decision.
Product notes
5+ LBS Cotton Fabric Scraps Remnants Quilting Sewing Crafts Suprise Box 100
The 5+ LBS Cotton Fabric Scraps Remnants Quilting Sewing Crafts Suprise Box 100 is the pick when a project starts with fabric rather than thread. It is a new, multicolor lot of 100% cotton remnants with a listed medium fabric weight, and it is suitable for crafts and quilting. The assortment may include folded pieces, strips, squares, rectangles, irregular cuts, and larger remnants, which gives patchwork planning plenty of directions. Its limitation is predictability: this is explicitly a true variety/mystery box, every box is different, and no individual piece is larger than 1 yard. That makes it less suited to a design requiring one particular print or a larger continuous piece. At $35.49, it is $15.50 above the thread set, so its strongest rationale is fabric variety.
10 Spool Cotton Sewing Thread Set Quilting Embroidery Craft Thread Kit
The 10 Spool Cotton Sewing Thread Set Quilting Embroidery Craft Thread Kit makes sense when fabric is ready and stitching supplies are next. The set contains 100% cotton, 50-weight thread intended for quilting, piecing, and everyday sewing, with suitability for both machine sewing and hand sewing. Its listed colors include Wine Red, Scarlet Red, Ochre Orange, Emerald Green, Lagoon Green, Indigo Blue, Patriot Blue, Blackberry Purple, Royal Purple, and Cornsilk Yellow. Each spool is listed at 1,200 yards, and the description also specifies a smooth, low-lint finish with a soft satin sheen. The limitation is scope: a thread kit does not provide the cotton pieces needed for patchwork, and its stated type is general sewing rather than a fabric assortment. At $19.99, it fits a thread-first purchase.
Final choice by use case
- For building a patchwork supply: Choose the fabric box for its 100% cotton, medium-weight remnants and multicolor assortment.
- For quilting or piecing with fabric already selected: Choose the thread set for its cotton construction, 50-weight format, and machine-or-hand sewing suitability.
- For varied cuts and prints: The fabric box is the clear match because its assortment can include strips, squares, rectangles, and irregular pieces.
- For a color-spanning sewing kit: The thread set is the better fit, with its listed range from reds and greens to blues, purples, and yellow.
These are complementary rather than interchangeable purchases: the fabric box supplies the patchwork material, while the thread set supplies the stitching component. Match the choice to the part of the quilt that still needs attention.
