I have only bought 1 kit, because I have more fabric than I can use in 2 lifetimes. However, I was absolutely blown away, and bought the kit. The picture shows teal, gold, and bright white as the colors. However, when the kit arrived, the teal and gold were great, but the white (?) was a dingey gray color. I took the gray fabric out, and immediately put it off to the side. Then I went to a LQS, and purchased a beautiful WOW bright white fabric.
I am not sorry that I purchased the quilt, because I love the pattern and the colors. But I will not purchase another kit, unless I see it in person.

I have bought several quilt kits, and I think....never again! The last one I bought sent fabric that was not in the photo, the colors were muddy and I ended up having to use all fabrics from my stash except one from the kit. I ended up donating the rest of the fabric to my quilt group. If you are not getting the original colors in the photo, then I would rather select my own.

This is beautiful.. I have made a handful of kit quilts but I did modify them. Depending who you buy kit from, they can be very generous with fabric...then I can modify pattern and get 2 quilts out of it...the 2nd one I donate..
