I haven't used any of the kits (all of my BOMs have been scrappy) but I do know that Sue tries to allow extra because not everyone is really frugal with their cutting, and she wants to make sure that if someone makes a cutting error or if they decide to use a different fabric somewhere, that there will be enough to cover those choices. Better to have too much, than to risk running out and not being able to get replacement fabric.

I found I had extra left in all colors, including the background.

Now that a lot of you have finished the 2009 BOM, I was just wondering how the amount of fabric that was in the kit worked out. Was there any left or did it work out to be just about right. I am very slow and only working on May, but I will use the excuse that I was traveling in our Motor Home for 7 months. With 2 of those months spent in Alaska. Although I didn't get a lot of sewing done I did try to hit most of the quilts shops we passed.
