Here is the pattern for a quilt kit I purchased last summer. I picked a different color combination than the one shown. And here is the quilt I actually made. Had to pick up a few fillers along the way. Not even close!

LOL funny..sounds like something i would do. I have never bought a kit. im afraid i would screw it up and than not have enough fabric to finish it

The sample in the store looked really good and the colors are colors I love to use. Bought it in South Dakota. Got it back to California, opened it and discovered that they hadn't provided enough fabric. So I decided to make it work, got very creative, liked the look of where I was going and here is what I ended up with. DH suggested I avoid kits in the future!

Great way to use a kit! Quilt kits are nice when it has the colors you like and can be made into any pattern you like.

I like your quilt better - the other is a bitbusy for my taste. Not sure what else you could have done w/out enough fabrics for the original. Unless of course you didn't mind suffering through a shopping spree to add to the stash!
