Just a thought--is there a particular fabric you don't like? Would you be able to replace just one or two of the fabrics and still keep what drew you to it in the first place?[/quote]
I vote for this approach also. If you purchased from LQS, take fabrics back and ask for some assistance in finding a fabric that changes the color story to suit your taste. You have to pick out the fabric that is not working for you. The main print is probably fine...so it must be one of the other players in the group.
I'm a big fan of kits, generally, especially if you see something made up that you just love, or if there are a zillion fabrics that you could never find and coordinate together.
Keep in mind that many designers of patterns, particularly who work with fabric companies, are limited to using fabrics from one line or group of fabrics. They have to put them all in there. When you pull the fabrics apart, there many be one or two that are not your favorites, but they worked in the overall piece. If you can afford it, it's not a sin to pull one out and substitute something else from your stash that you love.
One hint about using kits is to try to use them shortly after purchase, rather than years later. That way if you make a mistake or find you need more fabric, someone is likely to still have it in their store. Always keep the info where the kit was purchased with the kit so you can contact them if there is a problem. Most stores will do what they can to help you if you need more fabric due to an error, on their part or yours. ;-)
