Drunk Tank Pink

Double pink prints were popular fabric in 19th century quilts
 particularly towards the end of the century.

I saw an interesting piece on CBS's Sunday Morning recently
about how color influences mood.
We all know that blue is soothing but who knew that
bubble gum pink is too?

Drunk Tank Pink is a familiar shade that prison officials are using
because it calms aggression.


Who'd a thunk it?

I guess it also has a calming effect on quilters too.

The reverse of that quilt

Already I am calmer.
