Red and White Quilts

New York City is the location of the American Folk Art Museum that currently has an exhibit of 650 American quilts that are all red and white. Take a peek at them at the following link from Martha Stewart's blog. Martha will also feature the exhibit on her television show on the Hallmark channel if you have cable. The quilts are all from the collection of Joanna Rose who wanted to celebrate her 80th birthday. This is the largest quilt exhibit ever held in New York City. Check out the quilts at this link: http://www.themarthablog.com/2011/03/infinite-variety-three-centuries-of-red-and-white-quilts.html
