Congratulations, I love it when people find what they are looking for and at a really good price too!!!!!:thumbup:

Sorry for your plight. We all learned from your problem. Thanks for the info.

Missouri Quilts shows you all the line, with pretty accurate colors and they then tell you if there are any repeats or all different. I will sometimes go there just to see what is in the line and will then buy at the cheapest store...

now i only look at charm packs in the lqs so i can fan them out & see what is there- unless they are just blenders/backgrounds.
you may be able to return your pack you are unhappy with-

did you email the website and complain? You realy should. sounds like false advertisement to me

Just my 2 cents, but I don't think that the company was intentionally trying to mislead their customers. They probably just never looked closely at those pictures that Moda provides. My store carried some of that line, and looking at that composite picture, I can tell you that the fabrics are all out-of-scale with respect to each other. That kind of picture is good for showing you the colors in the line, and roughly what the prints are but... that's about it. Moda apparently makes this type of picture by taking all their square individual fabric photos and progressively shrinking and overlapping them.

This company did make available the "view larger" photos, which are true-to-scale representations of the line. Those pictures are exactly what are in Moda's official printed catalog, if you are lucky enough to be able to get to look at one.

Every manufacturer makes pictures of their lines available, and most online shops just use those photos, as is.

A wise shop, though, will at least look at each fabric as it comes in, and "tweak" (or replace) the photos to make sure that they accurately depict the fabric.
