What are barn quilts? Barn quilts are usually involve a large board or piece of metal that is painted to resemble one block from a quilt. These are hung on the sides of barns.

Many places have barn quilt trails with maps you can follow. The province of Ontario has barn quilt trails in several areas throughout the province.

Don’t ask me where this group was specifically. I was following the GPS from Forest, Ontario near Sarnia going east towards Toronto. The GPS did not take me back to the major highways running east towards Toronto until somewhere west of London. I think one of the roads was Elginfield. I believe it is the North MiddleSex Barn Quilt Trail. I do not think all the barn quilts are pictured on the website.



For more information this website shows you where the barn quilt trails are in Ontario, Canada:
WOW! I love these.

They are so cool! I am guessing they are the favourite blocks of the farmer’s wife.

There are a number of these around the Siouxland area. Not really certain if here there is a significance in the design or not and farm site where they are each situated.

Someone told me the one with IH is giving free advertising to International Harvester. They are nice to find when going through rural areas.

I have often admired them on country roads, although I have never researched them.

They are nice to see. It is great they have these in rural areas. A lot of farmer’s wives used to make quilts.
