Montclair Street Quilt Brightens Intersection Of Forest and Chestnut Streets

When you come to the intersection of Forest and Chestnut streets in Montclair, take a second to glance down at the asphalt.

There you’ll find the work of almost 100 community volunteers… the Montclair Street Quilt.

The brainchild of Montclair High School freshman Haley Winstead, the community art project will help the young woman earn her Girl Scout Silver Award project.

Winstead told TAP Into that the final design was created with input from Emma Demefack, a Renaissance Middle School 6th grader designed a motif that forms the center of the final design; Denise Hindi, a 7th grader at Glenfield Middle School, and Zoe Rosenberg, a freshman at Montclair High School.
