Quilted Barns

In Tennessee, and maybe in other places, people go around painting "quilts" onto barns. They paint a board with a quilted pattern and then pin it up for all to see. Finding quilted barns is a rare treasure, and you usually only find them by accident while driving in the countryside and in little deserted towns. These photos below are taken by me of the quilted barns I have found recently here in TN.

(click an image to enlarge, you definitely want to take a close look at these masterpieces!)





A video of one of the quilted barns tour/event. Notice one of the barns in the video? That's one of the same ones I photographed! :)


Here is a good site to check out to find more videos and maps of where different quilted barns are in certain places in TN: Upper Cumberland Quilt Trail
