I have had that happen to me when just purchasing fabric for a quilt. Did you try straightening the grain by stretching the opposite diagonals. My Home Ec. teacher taught us that eons ago. It works then you don't waste all of that fabric and your goods are truly straight of grain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjlNkmDX9OM

Thank you so much for this link. I will try it next time.

Well, I guess I'm not alone with this problem. This is the first quilt kit I've bought because I loved these fabrics!. Don't think I'll buy another one unless the fabrics used are easily available in case I need more!

I have bought one kit and it was on sale for 50% off. Just a simple one. I made it and when I was finished there was enough fabric left to make a second quilt minus the panel. I was so happy as I loved the fabric. I bought it from Bayside Quilting in Olympia Washington and I would buy more from them in a heartbeat if I had the money.

All the comments are good. I have had good and bad experiences. I bought a fish kit from Keepsake and very unhappy, not enough fabric but I could buy more. No, they did not make it right, never bought from them again. Bought BOM kits at LQS and both had good results. Fabric Shack told me they where on sale, same thing as above comment. You get what you pay for, if you are lucky.
