ReplyDeleteWell, we saw 2 rainbows on Saturday. It was a stormy afternoon, but the storms were scattered around; we were out shopping and saw the first where we live but the second about 25 miles away when we drove there. It's hard to take your eyes off a rainbow....so maybe that's why people are drawn to using rainbow colors! Thanks for chance to win! (EMAIL: marshudson at comcast dot net)

ReplyDeleteWell, I think just seeing a rainbow makes people happy, and so when we see those colors in a quilt we automatically feel happy. Also, those of us who experience harsh winters/cloudy grey winters need to brighten up our lives, and having something quilty around the house that is in rainbow colors is uplifting.
