I have bought many many kits. I have always seen a sample of the quilt or whatever the kit is for already made. So I know what Im getting and what it will look like finished. I have always received more than enough fabric. I love the fact that all the fabrics go so well together and I did'nt have to worry about that. When I see a sample quilt and love it and want to make it, why would I want to change it and add other fabrics?? My stash is sooo big, I don't want alot of left over scraps either. I buy them all the time!!
