I happened to spend a few minutes in Chapman Kansas last week and was surprised to see these.

There were others, but the light and timing didn't allow pics. And yes, I've learned to ride it.

Such a cool purchase! I love the city's barn quilt signs. Thanks for sharing your visit.

wow, thanks, Leon, that's great to know! I didn't get pictures because we were always speeding by (DH driving!) but the whole Granby CO Valley (all the little towns) were loaded with barn quilts everywhere! Worth going again (and driving slower) to see again.

A smart town and people to have barn quilts.

Great find!

A friend and I and our husbands have been on Barn Quilt Trails. It takes a while to drive around to see them all. Last weekend we were driving around the countryside in Washington County, Oregon to see the barn quilts. We spent a couple of hours and only saw about 1/4 of them. They are quite spread out, but we certainly enjoyed driving around in the country with all the gorgeous fall colors and views from the hillsides! We also went to a quilt show and when we mentioned the Barn Quilt Trail, were surprised to find that the quilters were not aware of it, or just barely aware.

My friend and I have plans to make small ones to put on our houses. Feels like a "secret handshake". LOL

A very good friend of mine from childhood now lives in Chapman--has for many years. She loves it there! I don't know why she never mentioned the barn quilts to me! Maybe you take them for granted when you see 'em every day.

Looks like you had a great trip, Leon! Nice to see the barn quilts signs, and your Penny Farthing bike is too cool!
