Piecing Together Grand Central’s History
The grandeur of Grand Central Terminal is being celebrated in a homespun fashion to mark the landmark’s 100 years. Eighty quilters from from 25 states went head-to-head to re-imagine the depot’s Main Concourse, information booth and constellation-covered ceiling, piecing together fabric; 30 of the works are on display through July 6 at the terminal, in the New York Transit Museum Gallery Annex. The contest was dreamed up by Dale Riehl, owner of the Chelsea store the City Quilter. Riehl and his wife, Cathy Izzo (pictured), were among the judges for the contest.
