I have purchased a few kits in the past. There was one I bought online and didn't get started making the quilt right away. Sure wished I had because there were a couple of pieces missing! The store sold out of the fabric at the time I started piecing the kit and there was none to be found online anywhere. I ended up using a completely different line of fabric just to finish the quilt. If I ever buy a kit again, I will at least inspect every piece just to be sure everything is there.
