As mentioned check out the fabrics as soon a you get the kits. I have had a couple of kits with shortage. One of them I thought was my cutting mistake so I just ordered more fabric and as I started cutting on it I realized in order to make the amount they set me originally work, you would have to use half the selvage to get the correct number of blocks. Another one they just plain shorted a piece of fabric. I had bought that quilt on clearance and then waited 6 months before I used it. The shop was temporarily closed and I had a piece in my stash that I liked better so just used it. I have also had good luck with kits and will order again. The latest from Connecting Thread was very generous with the fabric.
