Hi Teresa, I live in Oregon too, not very far from you. Let me know by PM if you find the Oregon block! My husband has a big shop that can be seen from the highway and would be a wonderful place for a barn quilt.

Dotsie, Barn Quilts are quilt blocks that are painted on the sides or front of a barn. It's really pretty when you are driving through the country & see one. Looks like they are starting to be painted in other places now, too. Debbie B

Thanx Debbie, It was kind of you to reply. In Switzerland some farm houses are also painted with farm scenes. I'm going there on Wednesday. Such a beautiful country.

OOOOOOOOOOH! WE used to live in Big Stone Gap, VA 2 gaps down from Cumberland, but I guess it was before the barn quilts became so common. Love them, thanks for sharing! Debs
