Barn Quilts

Wow!
(This is a corn crib, "Churn Dash" is the pattern, it is featured in the website listed below.)
We took a few back roads during our road trip.
A few surprises popped into view...
Barn Quilts have gained popularity in the area.
I discovered several websites out in web-land...

The stories that are behind the Barn Quilts are so interesting.
Most of the families chose a pattern that had a connection with their
family heritage or local landscapes.
(I think I've got a new idea for our barn...
I know just the pattern for it!)
