Barn Quilts

In this month's AAA magazine, they had a blurb on these "barn quilts". They are not fabric quilts (at least not that I can tell) but are hung on about 40 buildings in this area. I'm not going to photograph all of them (some are really hard to see) but a few that I liked best. I believe they are real quilt patterns.

They do that in Nebraska as well. You captured the barns and their Amish Graffiti well.

Very nicely presented. A great way to advertise a product. Well done.

Eye-catching, beautiful and so interesting! I have not seen this type of barn decoration anywhere else, so where does the idea come from?

Awesome gallery Patti! There was an article in a quilting magazine a few years ago (I sew/quilt when I have time) about these barns that have quilt blocks painted on them. Nice to see someone else's view of them! ~V~
