Both these quilts are from the same web site and both were on sale for $29.99 each - including border, binding, and even backing. The pinkish one was pictured on the site with pinks and blues for the coordinating fabrics. My kit had grey, mustard, and a dark blue. The backing/binding/focus fabrics had a nice feel to them, but the solids felt coarse and rough. Now that it's finished I'll use it for something - the pink border softened it some and washing it helped the feel of the fabrics. I make quilts for high school graduates at my church and both of these will be used for that. At first I thought I'd have to find a teenage girl I didn't like to give this one to, but ... it's grown on me some. :)
The other one is a naval print and I like it much better - the fabrics play together a bit better.
I adjusted both quilts a little bit by adding a border or making the border wider than the pattern called for.
Would I order kits from this site again? Probably not. I'm a big fan of kits and have ordered many, but ... a bit disappointed in the "pink" one of these.
grey and mustard? Really?

changed border from 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 - that helped

black inner border was meant for binding

I like to frame them when the border is scrappy
