Shops stopped doing the RBR for many reasons. It takes a lot of time and effort to design and print patterns and make kits. It came during the busiest season for our local shop and they stopped participating the year people from out of state came with lists of how many kits they wanted. They purchased the 25 kits, never left the counter and left! The reason for the RBR was to get people into your shop. The shop didn't even have a finished quilt turned in! They had many calls during the day asking for kits or patterns to be mailed. Many callers got nasty when told we were not mailing. Again, they were not coming into the shop. It just didn't seem worth all the effort that was being put into the program. I am sure other shops have other reasons.
