For six days in March 2011, the American Folk Art Museum dramatically transformed the Park Avenue Armory's historic Wade Thompson Drill Hall with 650 Red and White quilts from the private collection of Joanna S. Rose. Infinite Variety - Three Centuries of Red and White Quilts was the largest exhibition of quilts ever held in New York City.

And now, for your enjoyment, a video with just a small slice of the exhibit.

Modern quilters, should not just look at these quilts
but study them carefully then stop whinging
about "their copyright" issues.
These beautiful quilts prove, that apart from
the availability of endless amounts of fabric,
there is nothing new in the world of quilt blocks.
These quilts were made without the aid of
"essential gimmicky gadgets" foisted on
us now by the quilt industry.

Exquisite quilts! Can't get enough of red and white quilts. Is there any chance they'll have another showing?
