American Quilt Trail

Posted June 12th, 2009 by kath_red

I love this grass roots quilt-barn movement, it began in 2001 and has spread to 16 states and 900 barns across America – it is a celebration of quilting heritage and historic barns & architecture.
Each barn has a quilt square painted on it – find out more here. Links: Kentucky quilt trail : Appalachian quilt trail : background to quilt barn story.

    The county where my husband grew up also started barn quilts in 2005. It actually started as a 4-H project for a student there. Here is their website: http://www.barnquilts.com/
