Central Kentucky Barn Quilt Trail
When you love quilts as much as we do, then you love seeing them in all their forms. People who love quilts aren’t content with just enjoying them in their homes; they sometimes want to share their favorite quilt block with their neighbors and even strangers driving down the road. They do this by creating large quilt blocks that decorate barns, sides of buildings and even retaining walls. Here are some tips to help you find Central KY Barn Quilts as you take the back roads.
