Choosing Your Quilt Square
Your quilt block should tell a story. The pattern selected for your block might reflect the history of the building it is to be installed on, be part of a family quilt or represent the story of a building's occupants.
Whatever the case, the Macon County Quilt Trail Board of Directors will work with you to select the perfect quilt block as you become part of this very special initiative.
If you have any questions concerning purchasing a quilt block please call (828) 349-8912.
QUILT TRAIL HISTORY
There was never a grand plan for the single quilt square that Donna Sue Groves envisioned painting on the family barn in Adams County, Ohio, in 2001. It was just meant to be a gesture honoring her mother, Nina Maxine Groves, her rural heritage, and the five generations of her family that have shared a love of quilting.
She never imagined her idea would lead to colorful quilt patterns with names such as friendship star, bow tie, and brown goose appearing on more than 2,000 barns in 22 states. Most are located along what are now called quilt barn trails, which give nature lovers another reason to explore the countryside.
