DH and I just got back from a short trip to Kentucky for my cousin's wedding. Well, I couldn't leave without taking photos of these barn quilts for y'all. Enjoy!

We were in Burkesville, Cumberland County

Sunrise at Dale Hollow State Park. (If you're ever looking for a great place to room or camp, I highly reccomend it.)

Some family members sitting around on a hand-sewn quilt being used. No one knows who made it.

Very nice pictures, thanks for sharing. Isn't that an interesting boarder on the quilt no one knows?

Yes. I'm kicking myself for not getting a better pic of this quilt. The border, as well as the center, are a crazy-hard pattern. I don't remember it having a binding. Is it possible to do "pillow case style with this zig-zag border?
