#HappyHuesday! Today we bring your some "ugly" hues. This 1856 quilt was referred to as “the ugly quilt” by the family who owned it. The red points of the sunburst mix with the yellow diamonds, creating the perfect opportunity for the eye to mix them into orange—a very unpopular color. #quiltsandcolor #quilting A post shared by Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (@mfaboston) on May 27, 2014 at 9:02am PDT
