I was reading the New York Times Magazine on March 27th and spotted a great looking ad for an exhibit of red quilts at the Armory on 67th and Park in New York. The photos were colorful and I thought it might be interesting to see 650 quilts all at once. So off I went. It was a simply MAGICAL experience!
