That's a great idea! Why didn't I ever think of it! Next time I see a big sale on kits I'll keep this in mind.
I also agree with you on the lack of vibrancy of most of their fabrics. It's the one thing I've noticed that isn't appealing to me. I'd love it if they had some variations of bright and dramatic colors. But I think their color offerings are a big part of the personality of their site. I'm not saying I don't like most of their colors though. For the times I want to make a quiet quilt, or an old fashioned looking one, these fabrics are what I turn to. 8-)
Have you seen their After Hours collection? Or their recent foray into batiks?
