While driving through Iowa on a family trip last summer, we saw two of these barn quilts and would have LOVED to see more!!! Next time, we'll take the WI route to MN (from SC). These are wonderful - thanks for the tour!

I want ot put a colorful one in the back on my patio. The only problem is I can't decide what blick to make.

My barn quilt that I painted is on the small building behind my house where I have my quilting machines.
It's the picture on my avatar. |
Thanks for posting! These are so cool. :)

Great I did. We can call them Quilt Garages!!

I have a home in Shipshewana Indiana in the heart of Amish Country and there are barn quilts all around Shipshewana and throughout the area; on retail buildings, homes, etc. On the back roads I recently found an Amish shop that makes them for purchase. Since I am not very good at woodworking, I plan on purchasing one my next trip out.
During the summer, Shipshewana offers a quilt garden tour that you can take; the quilted gardens are just beautiful! |
Love it! I pass one every weekend when I go get the grandkids.
