I learned something recently. Chartreuse is not always chartreuse. I ran out of chartreuse for my temperature quilt at the end of November and I knew I’d need to find some before I started working on December.

I went to a very large quilt shop here in Phoenix and bought a fat quarter of Kona Chartreuse. But it didn’t look right.

I bought it, thinking it has to be right. But before I left the parking lot, I looked it up on my phone.

Nope, definitely not the same. I was baffled, until I noticed at the very top, that this is Moda Bella Solids, NOT Kona. Duh. I went back in the store. I asked if they carried Moda solids and they said they only had a few bolts left. One of those was chartreuse! Woo hoo! See the difference?

I was so happy, I bought a whole yard!

Yep, that’s exactly what I needed!

Have a great day!
