The gray winter days are sometimes brightened by some colorful objects on the landscape like red barns. And a colorful quilt pattern on a barn is an added bonus.
Quilt barns have been around for hundreds of years and a movement in early 2000s have seen more new quilt blocks appearing on barns again. Now there are Barn Quilt trails, which originated in Ohio, in most states so maybe I will have to go visit each one (starting in the warmer states during the winter).
