Sunday Quilt Inspiration: NYC

While pinning this week, I discovered that there was, not so long ago, a contemporary art quilt gallery in New York City. The quilts are pretty impressive, so naturally I pinned a few to my "heart, quilts" board.  
Brooklyn Bridge, New York City Brent and I got to walk across this on a very HOT day, but it was still wonderful!:

Not all can be pinned, however. I assume that is because the artists do not want them all over the web.  

There are many things to do with kids in New York City, NY. New York may surprise you with just how many fun activities are available for all ages.:
