I bought a Design Reducing Glass for that very reason. I have used it many times and it has saved me from making mistakes with color and design.

I've found the same problem when I'm looking at fabric prints up close and then when they get in the quilt and I'm looking at it from across the room, they appear totally different.

I hope you've made peace with this quilt by now. It's a very pretty quilt, and if you didn't have red/WHITE/blue in your mind you would never think that the pink was an error.

It's just beautiful. You do great work. I hope you can come up with a plan, if you do tea dyeing it would give it all a darker "americana" kind of a feel I bet.

You know, I like it the way it is. It didn't turn out the way you expected it to, but it is still a great quilt! I am glad you have found a way to accept it. I was going to suggest putting it up for two weeks and getting it out then. You'd sort of be looking at it with new eyes.
