I came across this article in the Michael Miller blog and just had to share it with you if you haven’t seen it. The American Folk Art Museum has said that 2011 is the year of the quilt. To honor that, they hung 651 quilts, spiraling through the air at the Park Avenue Armory. The show was The Infinite Variety: Three Centuries of Red and White Quilts and was shown back in March of this year.
The quilts were donated from one collector, Joanna Rose. No two are alike! Can you imagine?
Breathtaking, isn’t it? I can’t even imagine how Joanna Rose felt when she saw her collection displayed for her to see all at once! If you’d like to see the full article, it can be found here.

Aren’t these amazing! Thanks so much for posting! A friend sent me a news article showing these pics, but they were tiny, and I’d forgotten to look online for more. Could you imagine seeing these in person?
