My brother helped pick the colors, cause I just don't really see how they fit together, but he is color blind and see in hues. He is great at painting. My Mom told me the only thing wrong with my quilt was that I was trying to be perfect and that is impossible, but I told her I could try.

Here is an interesting fact. During World War II (or maybe I, I can never remember :oops: ) they would send soldiers who were color blind up in balloons or post them on a high ridge because they could see where the enemy had trenches and dug in. It's because they weren't fooled by the camouflage but could see where the enemy was by the different hues in the surroundings.
