One is seeing red and green the same. The other is seeing all colors as dull, like thinking red and brown are the same. My father ran a dyehouse and had to give his workers a test for it. One time my boss had the red/green and my coworker had the dull one. Be,sure and get more fabric!PaulaB quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850498636712774853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-21812501601757765632018-01-20T12:44:05.711-05:002018-01-20T12:44:05.711-05:00Your great-grandmother would be so proud!
