Roughly 1 in 100, that's pretty cool!Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-31179298653270974942011-02-16T08:02:04.323-08:002011-02-16T08:02:04.323-08:00After another fairly quick spin through the Quilt ...After another fairly quick spin through the Quilt Index, I found roughly 10% out of over 1000 results with solid color backgrounds other than white. About 11 of those were some type of blue. Not at all a scientific or precise analysis, and it's sometimes very difficult to tell the true color from the pictures. Some of those pictures from the state documentation projects, in my opinion, should really be redone. White quilts often look blue, pink, yellow, green, etc. I think they'll be fairly happy when they get our pictures from Oregon.Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-3603407693485251742011-02-16T07:38:21.373-08:002011-02-16T07:38:21.373-08:00That is a very nice example of a double wedding ri...That is a very nice example of a double wedding ring. I like the darker backgrounds as well. At a recent talk two members of the audience brought crib-size double wedding rings - one with a lavender background and the other with a pink background. The quilts were made by two different quilters but in the same town...makes you wonder doesn't it!YankeeQuilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324287185970922332noreply@blogger.com
