I haven't bought a kit from either of the two places that you noted, but I have both kits from Connecting Threads and Keepsake Quilting. Both of them have always sent plenty of fabric. Usually I end up with an extra strip or two. Before I got my QuiltCut, there was always enough to allow for my screw-ups. Wth my QuiltCut, I usually have a 3-6" strip leftover. These just get put in wth my scraps.
