Just another note for the decorator side of me, when customers sat in the showroom and picked out possible choices for carpet, I always went to their home with that sample and several similar. Very often they would not like the one the had picked in the showroom, as the lighting is very different that where they were going to live with that carpet. Then came the predictable call, they had gone out to the truck to see their new carpet and IT WAS WRONG! I had to tell them to trust me (never was the wrong carpet) and let the fellas bring a piece inside. In the sunlight the color is completely different than in the house. So those of you that insist on taking it outside at the quilt shop, better to take it into the bathroom if there is incandescent lights there, as you won't be using your quilt outside. What matches outside may look horrible in the light of the living room. I have been known to take the fabric into an area of the store where I can put it in the shade (away from florescent lights) so I can get a truer read on the color.
