Me, too. And I am often surprised at the secondary patterns that emerge when I look at it through the camera!

Maybe red fabric paint? I did that once with a red white and blue quilt - I used a red and white gingham that read pink from just 10 feet away. I took a star squilt course from Diane MacLeod Shink, (Dimac.com) a quilt evaluator 10 yrs ago - she uses a 2' and a 10' rule before every step - maybe a 20' - 30' rule should be added to that.

I have a pink tee shirt with a chenille USA flag on it. It all reads pink instead of white. I love it.
Please let us see a pic.
Pink lovers unite! We will love it.
Sorry it turned out not as planned. Lemonade from lemons........

A good tip I was given at art class was to stand in front of a mirror and view your work through the mirror. I have applied this to my quilts and I always use a full lenght mirror to view my work and it really works.
