Digitial images above:
1. Some of the images have circles ("hot spots") that come from the camera flash.
2. The edges of the quilts are fine and normal, but, in the images, they appear rough. This is an artifact of the digital photography.
3. Every attempt has been made to achieve the original colors and brightness, however this was very difficult. Even if this had been possible, every computer screen shows colors in different ways.
4. The images are not to scale. Sizes are given with each.
5. Resolution of digital images miss the subtley of color, tone, and fine detail.
6. Heaviness, size, and emotional and spiritual power of the quilts are lost in the images.
