I took the kit that I showed this morning and did a test run to see how successful the kit is. I do consider these kits to be starter packs and that they definitely need a little input from your own stash. Since some of the prints are larger, not every kit has the same motif in the print so there is no way a kit can be a 'paint by number' - if you are old enough to know what I'm talking about. I do my best to put a good assortment of values and colors in the kits. I used 196 of the 200 pieces in the kit for this sample and it isn't perfect. I would definitely go to my fabric stash and look for a better value/color piece for a couple places.

I will jump on this one myself....just for the variety of fabrics that I don't have!
I like the bright color wash one. Waiting for them to be available.
:-))))
They all look great to me!
Hmm. There are some fabrics in your sample that I would never have considered for a colorwash quilt. The effect of them all is very nice, though - you use colors so well. I'm curious - what makes a colorwash quilt "perfect"?
Looks great! Wheels are turning in the brain right now!
Looks good to me!
would love to get my hands on one of your beautiful color wash kits but can't find info on where to purchase. cindy bluemoonstencils@yahoo.com
