I just returned from a trip to Beech Mountain NC and was thrilled to happen upon a Barn Quilt trail. It was so much fun to turn the next corner on the twisty mountain roads and see a surprise barn quilt on a barn, a house, a fence and even on public trash cans!

Here is a link to some of the blocks we saw! I would love to paint my very own to put on the side of my garage facing our patio.
