Love in the air

A few photos of the "To Boston With Love" quilts which debuted at the MFA last weekend.  These little valentines from around the world brought joy and cheer to Memorial Day weekend and remind me a lot of the patterned Rex Ray raindrops that wallpaper my twitter page.
from mfa.org:To Boston With Love is an installation of more than 1600 hand-sewn flags created by quilters from nearly every state in the US and from countries around the world. They convey inspirational messages of love, peace, and hope and highlight iconic Boston images.  The project was a grass-roots effort conceived by Berene Campbell of Vancouver, Canada, and organized locally by Amy Friend of West Newbury.
