Barn Quilts

No quilting makes a quilting blog rather dull. I haven’t done any personal quilting in over 8 weeks and even the quilting I’m committed to doing for others has been a little sparse so I don’t have any pictures to show. (My feeling of apathy is making me look like a flake, but unfortunately my apathy won’t let me care either.)

I thought I’d share a few links to Barn Quilts. If you haven’t seen them, they are old barns with 8′ x 8′ quilt squares on them. I think they are really neat but then, I like old barns AND quilts. It seems these barns have become tourist attractions with bus tours and everything. This Ohio old barn website has quilt barn pictures from Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Tennessee as well as other types of barn photos.

These are a few of my favorites:

Barn Quilt #1

Barn Quilt #2

Barn Quilt #3

If I ever make it back to NY to fulfill my homesteader-wannabe-wishes, and my property has an old barn, I’m going to have to have an 8′ x 8′ quilt square on it.
