barn quilts
Painted building squares
Barn quilts are large, colorful wooden panels painted with traditional quilt block patterns and mounted on barn exteriors or other outdoor structures.
They began appearing in rural America in the early 2000s as folk art and community heritage projects.
Driving routes that connect multiple barn quilts are called quilt trails: We spent Saturday following the barn quilt trail through Adams County.
