My thoughts exactly. I recently started working on several BOM's. I'm not really that happy with the fabrics they're sending, and I've run out and had to supplement. Interestingly, I'm doing two BOM's from the same fabric store. I noticed that even though the blocks are completely different, I had the same fabrics in both kits. I'm guessing these are a way for fabric stores to get rid of their scraps. I haven't purchased a whole quilt kit, but they seem expensive to me too. That's probably why I haven't purchased any.
