Frequently Asked Questions
How does Presidential differ from Navy?
Navy is the everyday dark workhorse blue; Presidential sits slightly brighter and more saturated, reading formal rather than merely dark. Business suits take Navy, ceremonial flags take Presidential.
Presidential or Admiral for military quilts?
Admiral carries a naval steel undertone suited to uniform fabrics, while Presidential is the cleaner ceremonial blue for dress-uniform and flag elements. Many Quilts of Valor use both across different blocks.
What completes a patriotic thread trio with Presidential?
A true red such as Imperial Red and a bright white — with Cadet as a lighter blue accent for shading between the flag blues.
