Yes, I've recently done my first BOM's and I've been surprised and disappointed by the quality of the fabrics they've sent me. The colors are wrong, and there isn't any kind of information to guide which fabrics are intended for which pieces. (Mine are applique patterns.) I bought two BOM's from the same shop and found identical fabrics in the two different quilts, which leads me to believe that this is a way for shops to get rid of old and leftover stuff.
