i have on occassion spent money on a kit- but turns out 9 out of 10 times i will replace the fabric anyway- because i don't like what is in the kit- and i seldom actually follow someone else's pattern anyway---of i want the exact same quilt as someone else has i'll go to penneys and buy one
so for me they are a waste of money- but for someone who wants ... that quilt....in those fabrics i can see the appeal- seems like a really expensive way to go though- to not have anything left over for other projects- guess i'm just not a kit type of quilter
