That really sounds fantastic, Sew. Wish I'd seen it.

I first noticed pictures of quilt blocks painted on barns and thought it was a great idea. I thought they were just small squares before I realised that barns in America are HUGE. We have nothing like them here in Australia. The blocks are also huge, about six feet square. The book tells the story of how the Quilt Barn Trails movement was born and how they have spread to many counties in many states, mostly in the east. I found the book at our little local book shop and just had to have it. There are so many great stories and lovely pictures of the barns and it just crossed my mind that with the huge membership here on the Board, there just may be someone who has one or knows someone who has.
