This happens to me when I buy the complete fabric for a certain pattern, then go home to put it away for years later. I'll mess up on a pc of fabric, need more, only to find out they've retired the fabric! How many times does this happen to me? All the time! I have kits from almost 8 yrs ago so I anticipate UFOs. Argh! It will take 50 yrs to sew thru all my fabric.
Many older kits I rub my head wondering what I was thinking when I purchased it.
I still love, love, love, quilting!
