I've seen many, many "quilts" on freestanding sign posts (i.e. not on a building but on two supports) in Kentucky. I travel along U.S. 25E in the southeastern part of Kentucky when I visit my Dad in East Tennessee.

If you are in the East Tennessee area:
the barn quilt I posted is between the towns of Gray and Limestone off I-25. I take exit 13. The road is called Bowmantown Road where my Dad's house is located. He lives right along this road. :wink: Happy trails!!!

You should start something like this in Australia!!! There are several web sites that provide the directions for them. :-)

There are some really pretty barn quilts over that way... Saw a program on tv once about how some of the barn quilts are made and the amount of work that goes into them... nice, thanks for sharing..

Hi all,

This is, indeed a great example! Great detail!

I am so pleased to hear that you like these barn quilts, as I have devoted 2 1/2 years to visiting and documenting them--along with their stories.

You can see many many more of these quilts and find out about their origins on my blog americanquilttrail.com

If you look to the right, you will see the story of Donna Sue Groves, who originated the idea. Yes, it started with one person!

If you would like to see another extraordinarily detailed painted quilt, click on the calendar at the top right, and check the December 2011 quilt block. It is a magnificent piece of work.

Best wishes to all--Suzi
