The first kit I ever bought was many years ago, maybe 25/30. I bought it because it had all the colors of fabric that I wanted...living in a small town, availability was scarce.
It was the school house pattern and turned out beautiful! But, for sure, I would have been in trouble if had made a cutting mistake! Just barely enough. I still have that quilt hanging in my living room. Though faded, I still get nice comments on it.
