Donna Sue Groves wished to honor her mother, Maxine, and her Appalachian heritage by having a painted quilt hung on her barn in Adams County, Ohio. You may be really surprised to see that they started off as a painted design. I was not familiar with where the idea of a wooden barn quilt came from, so I did a little research. I am now going back to basics and doing a wooden barn quilt wall hanging to use up all the pieces. Lucky for me it worked out great but I had lots of pieces leftover. Instead of trying a small basic design first, I jump straight in and made a kingsize headboard with a unique design. Like most projects I try, I always seem to jump in feet first. We’d love to have you help us celebrate this exciting showpiece which is sure to capture a positive first impression to visitors to our community.Wooden Barn quilts have become so popular on Pinterest at the moment, that I had to join in and have a try.

Block designs were used from the United States Patchwork Pattern Book: 50 Quilt Blocks from 50 States from Hearth and Home Magazine, with permission by Dover Publications. Each state has an official quilt block, much like a state bird or flower designation that we will be using. The display is 6’ x 50’ with all 50 states represented.
