Barn Quilts

As of 2006, there were more than 400 quilt squares on barns and corn cribs across 63 counties in Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and West Virginia. It all started in Ohio. They are 8' square painted on the side of the barn or another piece of wood. Different quilt patterns are used. There are committees in the different counties to keep track of where they are and what patterns.

Here are just two of the ones in our area. The one with the clock on the barn is between us and Pocahontas. I'm sure I'll be taking pictures of and sharing more of them. More info. and pics are at http://www.barnquilts.com/links.html
