I bought two kits when I first started considering quilting, and then didn't get to them for over a year. That fabric is pretty much long gone except for a few bits and pieces on eBay (I searched out of curiosity). The first kit I tried had a center panel that was supposed to be cut to 14-1/2 inches. The panel was not only crooked, but barely 14 inches! After huffing and puffing to myself to get out my annoyance, I did some math and decided to trim it to 13 inches all around, and then add the extra I needed from scraps left over from cutting the other pieces. I managed to "frame" the panel with an inch of coordinating fabric, and my daughter claims she actually likes it better that way. I know I was lucky, but after reading about others getting burned by kits, I doubt that I'll buy one again! :?
