If it's the standard Labyrinth pattern, I bought the pattern at either a show or LQS and added whatever fabric I wanted.
I don't do kits as I prefer to pick out my own fabric.
This one has everything mixed in.

Can you take a picture of the fabric from m the catalog or an online source? There is a website named www.missingfabrics.com that you could post the picture of along with your description and see if anyone has it who would be willing to sell it to you. I had great success with this site when I was looking for a batik jelly roll that had been discontinued for a couple of years. Within just two or three days a lady posted saying she had it and sold it to me.

Here's the thing about Keepsake Quilting (it's local for me), they never, ever disclose the manufacturer of the fabrics they sell. It's so you don't go buy it somewhere else. Even in the shop itself, the bolt ends are covered over with stickers to prevent you from seeing the source of the fabric. Furthermore, if you bought it as a kit from them in 2012, odds are just about zero that KQ still sells whatever fabric they used in the kit even if you knew the manufacturer's name.
Your best bet, if online shopping for batiks is too risky for you, is to try to find fabrics locally that will work to your satisfaction. Sorry.

I don't like kits either although I have made two and they turned out quite well. One from keepsake quilting and one from Craftsy. Although I did have a couple of problems with them. I like to buy the fabric also knowing I can go back and get more if I needed to. Thank you again.

Those are Princess Mirah batiks. They are really nice fabrics. She used to have a warehouse in the town nearby, and they had warehouse sales on occasion. The first time I found the place the sample room manager was selling off discontinued fabric for $2 a yard. I bought $40 dollars worth of fabric and thought that was a lot, then thought some more and called her back, but she said someone else bought about $400 of the discontinued fabric. I tried to get in touch with her a few times after but never heard back – I guess she was no longer there. How I wish I had bought more fabric at the time, although 20 yards is plenty, of course, but still – batiks!

It does give separate cut yardage amounts per fabric.
If you want the separate pattern, you can have it.
I go by color schemes. I love the colors of the desert southwest. I will mix fabric from everywhere including batiks if they fit.
Calico Carriage Quilt Designs has/had the pattern.
