so, i can say that i have done these bom and never worried about it. my work, my quilt and i love them.
my thoughts exactly!! Besides, I hate picking out fabric. I've done one BOM from Joanns and it's on my bed now and it cost only $2.99 per pkg. (I think) I know it wasn't expensive. I'm in the process of a West of Baltimore BOM from Keepsake Quilting and it has a bazillion parts to it - but it's soooo beautiful. The cost was $24.95 per month plus the 4 corner blocks plus the background and backing material. Lots of $$$$ BUT I love it, I want it, I need it. AND it all came to me - I didn't have to go fabric shopping. Nearest fabric is WalMart - 30 miles or a Joanns - 50 miles --- one way.
BTW I never was shorted on material. In fact the Keepsake Quilting one has a LOT of extra fabric that I've used in other quilts.
