You have TWO MORE DAYS to get to New York to see this incredible exhibit!!
If you are able to get to the Park Avenue Armory in New York City on Tuesday March 29, or Wednesday March 30, do whatever you can to get there. Experiencing and seeing the remarkable exhibition ‘Infinite Variety’ – 650 antique red and white quilts hanging together – has left me speechless. This is one of the ‘Year of the Quilt’ exhibits put together by the American Folk Art Museum, and is free, but will only hang in New York for 6 days. For more about this and other quilt exhibits, visit the American Folk Art museum website.
As I walked in to the show, I looked at the quilts hanging, and then looked through my camera, and declared “there’s no way to photograph this exhibit”.
Nevertheless, I tried. Remembering that I’ve never returned home from a quilt show feeling that I took too many photographs, I took lots of pictures.
Go to my website to see the slide show of photos I took. I’ll be adding and rearranging the photos for the next few days so visit more than once!

I’d say you were able to capture the feel of the exhibit. I’m sure it must have been amazing in person.
Thanks! When I looked at my photos I was pleased that I took enough pictures that showed the scale of the exhibit. I spent a whole day there, and every time I turned around I would see at least one more quilt or detail that I hadn’t noticed before. It was a remarkable experience.
I am so jealous! I would have loved to gone-your pictures did a pretty good job of showing how it felt to be there. I’ve never seen anything like it-thanks for sharing the photos.
I still hope to post more photos – can you believe I took 450 pictures just of the Red and White quilts? (I also visited two other quilt exhibits at the American Folk Art Museum while I was in NY and took lots of photos of those too.) It was an inspiring two days!
