Thank you all so much! It is nice to have the support of the group here.
I do want to comment on kits. I have never once bought a kit that didn't have enough fabric in it. My only complaint would be on the directions being not very well written. But, I am an experienced quilter and can figure out a pattern fairly well by myself. I have heard that the customer service at connecting threads is impeccable if there ever was to be a problem with their kits.
