I bought a kit for a baby quilt, all but the backing was enough. Had to try and find some more backing,but no luck. Took it to the lady who does my quilting and she told me she had to cut the borders to make the backing work. Told her that was okay, for I don't think the baby will know the difference.

Through the years I have purchased embroidery, counted cross stitch, crochet, and now quilting kits. For the most part I am quite satisfied. Once I did not have enough of one of the threads, e-mailed the company and they sent me what I needed.
One of the first quilts I did was a Turning Twenty kit. Only one piece of fabric I would not have chosen, but I did use it and from afar I cannot tell I don't like it. I have another kit sitting in the drawer for a Watermelon quilt that I was not able to get to this summer. Summer was too short!
All in all quite satisfied with kits. Sometimes I just don't want to choose the fabric myself.

I would never pay full price for one! I have made 2 from Joann's(bom) had 2 pcs left over.bought them on super clearance @ less than $2 a block. have done the "buck a block" thangles promo. And I went to a estate sale and bought ALOT of kits @$5-$20, I'm not sure if they're stash or projects!LOL!! Alot of thimbleberries. Have bought on EBAY -when you can get BOM's for way under $1, precut---hey, sometimes I just need a mindless sewing project!
