There are about 400 in the Western North Carolina area, which comprises about 10 counties. The largest number is in Yancey/Mitchell counties, where there are just over 200. Here is a photo of one of my favorites.

There is one that someone has on their home that is on my route home from work and it's a grandma's basket and it's beautiful. She has it placed on the area above her garage door since they don't have a barn. From what I gather, this book/map will feature all the quilts on barns, homes, etc. Should be interesting!!!
I love the way that they replicated the fabric!
