A thought ... don't bother with the work of kits!
They'll never be the "right" colour, fabric, etc.
As quilters, we all have a stash, but many of us do not have the accuquilt cutter to precision cut. So we would be attracted to this pre-cuts. Plus as someone mentioned earlier, quilters tend not to buy what they have at home ..... i.e. the stash!
My suggestion is to just make matched sets of generic fused appliques.
Package them in sandwich bags, all the same count, colour/fabric and price.
Have some samples to draw attention and for inspiration .... otherwise, they could just disappear into your display and never be seen. Easy-peasy ....... and they will be flying out like hotcakes!!!!
Quilts of Valour did this at Quilt Canada 2016, using generic Canadian motifs, (maple leaves, inukshuks, beavers, etc.). The only problem I had was deciding how many, of each to get!
I think it was six per package. A reasonable number, and price. And yes, they were selling like hotcakes ..........
It's an easy project to do, and a good money-maker!
Worst case scenario, if they don't sell, they won't take much storage space after.
Plus you have some at-the-ready for your own or guild projects later.
