Picturing America and silver

I think these severl pictures are similar well because they are all silver all silver, and the differenceis the one picture on the left is like a goldish silver to me ( that is my opinion). The other differences are that they are not the exact same thing. Another one is thatone looks like a tea kennel on the righ bottom , the right top looks like a holder for salt or sugar and or brown sugar or something very close to that. The left picture is like piture of hot tea or something like that.

Matching patterns

The first pattern that i see is on the right side the second girl and the fifth girl, the second pattern i see is the first and third indian for the right going to the left, the third pattern i see is the second and third girls shoe from the left going to the right. 

Thinking Mother.....?

        I think this mother is thinking about the Great Depression and about her children, The two details are the way the children are facing and the mother looking sad.

Best Quilt I Like The Best

 The best quilt i like is the purple and blue ones, well because blue is my favorite color, and shows some really good details. If you look in it its like your really getting confused by the circle, square, and the triangles and the star and it all comes out looking like a giant sun or star if witch ever one you prefer in a square.
