After reading thru all the posts on this thread, I'm anxious to see how your quilt turns out! Since a few people have evidently been to their place of business, and one had a quilt finished that she said she's pleased with, it may just be a good deal.
Like when I happened upon Connectingthreads.com..I was very hesitant to order from them. I was a newbie quilter (had learned hand quilting 40 years ago, about 5 years ago decided to pursue quilting again, found a great lqs, and here I am).
So I placed an order with CT, when it came in I was pleasantly surprised! I still order from them and only once was an order wrong. I called and the customer service was a great as everything else. Matter of fact they sent me an extra yard of the fabric that was shorted. In several kits I've ordered for them I've had fabric that was a tad smaller than what was listed, in that case there's always been the correct fabric AND the smaller one included..So I get extra..they said it's just how they do it.
