There are many "barn quilts" in Iowa. If you google when you are traveling you can find them in all states. They are fun to find.

I sure would love to see them. Maybe a trip is in the future? Also, I think a canvas painted with a quilt block would be great to hang in the house somewhere.

There are many, many listed. Just Google "barn quilt trails". I've posted a few to give everyone the idea of what we are discussing.

Yep. The landscape of Kentucky is dotted with them.

Have seen quite a few areas with barn quilts - it's always a wonderful surprise :)

Here is a link to a community close to home, in SouthWestern Ontario, who have a nice crop:

http://wardsvillebarnquilts.wordpress.com/

For people attending either the Quilt Ontario show in London at the end of May ( http://www.canadianquilter.com/event...anada-2011.php ) or the Ailsa Craig Community Festival with Quilts of the Netherlands
( http://ailsacraigquiltfestival.org/exhibition )
will be able to take day trips to tour these barn quilts!

Enjoy,
Linda
