Your quilt is beautiful!

I made a quilt using Kaufman Kona in medium gray for a good bit of it, purchased from a LQS (not JA or other Big Box store), but ran out when it came to making one of the borders. I ordered more of it from the same LQS and it took FOREVER for them to get it in. The finally called me and I was so excited! I took the last piece I had over to the shop, and they produced the three yards I had ordered and paid for. Completely different color from my piece. They them brought out two more bolts with the same color marked on them. They matched the 3 yard piece, but not my square from home. They then told me that Kona is notorious for dye changes from lot to lot and there is no guarantee that the colors will match if you don't purchase enough the first time. I wound up purchasing something close in color to the original fabric and using that, but just a word to the wise!
