google Union County, Kentucky & Barn quilt and you'll find this. There is a picture attached but it din't copy.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!
The Union County Quilt Trail
The Union County Quilt Trail Project is officially underway.
The first quilt square, painted on a specialized aluminum board, has been hung on a building next to the Mike Delamar home on US 60 between Morganfield and Waverly.
Those interested in having a quilt square adorn their home, barn or any outdoor structure should call Vicki Ricketts at the Museum, 389-4420; Melanie Bealmear at the Extension Office, 389-1400; or Paul Monsour, Union County First-Tourism, 952-1191.
There is a $225 one time fee for an eight foot by eight foot square and a $125 fee for a four foot by foot square. The fee covers the cost of the board, paint and other necessary supplies and there is no built in profit. The painting is done by volunteers. The first painting measures four feet by four feet.
The only other requirements are that the square be visible from the road or highway and the person asking for the quilt square supply the design.
The organizers of the local project are in hopes of establishing a quilt trail through the county and use it to attract visitors and promote tourism.
The painting will take place at various locations, including the Museum, Old National Bank basement and the Henshaw Community Center

Im in Bardstown Kentucky...in a 60 mile radius, I know of about 20 barn quilts..I understand that there are books out about barn quilts and even maps that you can purchase to travel throughout the country finding them. Our County extension office sells the kits for barn owners to paint their quilts on and records them for a fee. I am in an subdivision under a Home owners association that wouldnt allow a barn but I am putting up a barn quilt on my garden shed this spring(a smaller condensed version)

you can do a search to find where these barn quilts are located. I am sure all are not listed, but if you want to take a road trip to take photos, this is a good place to start.

Don't you love them? We saw a whole lot of them in Western No. Carolina when we went to visit our DD and SIL. There are now more than 100 in a 2 county area in the mountains northeast of Asheville. They are just wonderful!!
