There are many "barn quilts" in Iowa. If you google when you are traveling you can find them in all states. They are fun to find.

Here in Ky you see them alot. I think they are beautiful.

I sure would love to see them. Maybe a trip is in the future? Also, I think a canvas painted with a quilt block would be great to hang in the house somewhere.

There are many, many listed. Just Google "barn quilt trails". I've posted a few to give everyone the idea of what we are discussing.

Yep. The landscape of Kentucky is dotted with them.

Have seen quite a few areas with barn quilts - it's always a wonderful surprise :)

Here is a link to a community close to home, in SouthWestern Ontario, who have a nice crop:

For people attending either the Quilt Ontario show in London at the end of May ( http://www.canadianquilter.com/event...anada-2011.php ) or the Ailsa Craig Community Festival with Quilts of the Netherlands
( http://ailsacraigquiltfestival.org/exhibition )
will be able to take day trips to tour these barn quilts!

Enjoy,
Linda
