What's so hard about 'blue'??

Yes I've run into that situation. I was redecorating and a girlfriend asked if I needed a new dust ruffle for the bed. Yes, green. The one she brought me was green all right, like a blue spruce is green. Argh! I finally realized that the general public doesn't recognize shades and values like a quilter does. So I agree. Don't ask.

Our high school choir decided on blue velvet dresses and blue jackets for the guys. So they arranged for us to buy our dress material at a local shop and sent off a swatch to the manufacturer for the jackets. Ha! Talk about clash! Even the paid professionals can't get it right.
I made a king size string quilt of blues. The only chance of making it work is to use every shade of blue on the planet at least once.

OK, I'm a brat. I'd find the yukkiest blue ever and send her a swatch and see how quick she narrows down her selection of "blue." But then, I'm a brat and have two sisters who would probably do the same thing! Smile!!
