I could never find fault with the felt itself, the Benzie felt is without equal for quality. It's the quantity in this I had trouble with. This had plenty of each color with the exception of Graphite and Clover (I really don't know how you can make it stretch with the configuration of the applicable pieces). And of course you have to purchase the metallic gold separately (or the Ochre if you prefer). Fortunately, I had enough scraps to make up the difference; however, if you're relying on this alone for everything you need you'll run into trouble. Be very careful with how you lay out the Flamingo pieces, because it's a VERY tight fit! And be sure to save all the scraps until you're completely finished with both the book and the characters.
