But, see??? I do not see an ugly quilt!
What I see is something that is functional, and interesting to look at. When one is not feeling well, lying under a quilt such as these gives me something to look at. I can trace the quilting pattern with my fingers. I can see if I can play matching games ... and, when I am a little child and do not want to take a nap, I do all of that PLUS! try to remember the names of all the colors I like ...
nope! not ugly ... <wave>
