I've only bought 1 quilt kit from a fabric store in my life as the recipent asked for fall colors and I found this one by accident. It was a Bonnie Hunter pattern. She had asked for a full size quilt and this one fit the bill, then later she asked for it to be a queen size quilt. Well, darn, there wasn't enough fabric for that size so I jumped into my stash and added fabrics that would go well with the fabrics that came with it. Only issue I had was that I wouldn't have enough fabric for the border plus I'd purchased this kit say maybe a year before I had time to start it so to find more of the border fabric would be a miracle. I went back up to that fabric store and lucky me, I found 3 fat quarters of the border fabric which made it enough as they gave you more than you needed in the first place. This was a kit put together by the store employees plus the store was being sold so for me to find the fabric I needed to finish this quilt was a miracle in itself especially as it was a year or more after I'd purchased it in the first place.
