I agree. I did 3 different $5 quilts at my LQS using the Marti Mitchell templates and each one required 2 different sets. I loved the quilts I got from them, but I hated the templates. And I now have 5 sets (A through E) that I'll probably never use again. They were a pain to use and were expensive, too.
I could see getting the template for dresden plates or drunkard's path, but I won't do another Marti Mitchell.
