I have had a similar problem with a Keepsake baby quilt - after washing fabric I was short - even though I cut carefully. My LQS kits often are cut without an eighth of an inch extra - a problem if you are not very precise or if the fabric has been cut uneven. Like a previous poster, my experience with Connecting Threads is the opposite - their kits always have fabric to spare.
