It's the year of the rabbit in the Chinese zodiac. But it's the year of the quilt for New York's Amer­ican Folk Art Museum. In addition to ex­hibitions at the museum's two permanent locations, "Infinite Variety: Three Centuries of Red and White Quilts" kicks off a six-day run at the Park Avenue Armory on March 25. A private collector has lent the 650-plus quilts that Thinc Design will use for the installation, which will take over the armory's 55,000-square-foot column-free drill hall, floor-to-ceiling.
