high volume

I remember the first time I heard a quilt described as low volume. I had no idea what that meant. Thank goodness for Google.
The answer was there for the asking.
Made sense too.
I should have just asked myself what the opposite of low volume was and that would have given me the answer.
High volume equals loud so low volume equals quiet.
Who knew.
I have a quilt top waiting in the wings to be finished that could never be described as low volume. In fact, loud would not even tell you the whole story.
It is a sonic boom of color.
I can hardly wait to show it to you.
My mother has dubbed it Pieces of Eight, after pirates gold. 
Pirates are pretty high volume guys.
Yo Ho Ho.
