I've only done one. I was too new (my first year) to know the hazards but the fabric was perfect. I wanted to make a quilt for my friend's 80th birthday and she loved butterflies - esp. the kind in the fabric. I bought the kit on line at overstock.com. I was too new to know about sewing on diagonals, etc. - I wouldn't attempt it now - but it turned out okay and she loved it. I actually found additional fabric (I made the quilt in my avatar with more of it) and was able to add the printed border and I added the yellow border. The kit did not have any border fabric. But all the promised pieces were there and cut correctly. I had it machine quilted at my LQS. Here she is with the finished quilt.
