The Green County Barn Quilts project started in 2008, and by the end of 2010 the 100th barn quilt was installed. Barn quilts are painted wooden squares (designed like one block of a real quilt pattern), generally 8 x 8 feet in size. Some are located on "working" barns, and others are displayed on "retired" barns. It's not as challenging as geocaching, but hunting for the barn quilt locations is a true adventure in experiencing the roads less traveled of the Green County countryside.
The barn is of a typical style found on an 80 acre farm over one hundred years ago. It has crosswise dairy stanchions inside and an awning on the south side. Currently the mow is used for machinery and hay storage. When he is not out grazing, the lower level provides shelter for the family's driving horse, Scout. Comments About the quilt, Eileen says, "It was a real pleasure to see the Windmill Obsession design evolve during this collaboration! I enjoyed working with Lynn and thank her and Kris for their dedication to the barn quilt project in general. The amount of time they spend on each quilt is staggering. Thanks also to Mom, Dad, Patrick, Michelangelo, Doug, Jessica, Lily, Ben, and Ivy for helping make this happen." The quilt was raised on October 16, 2011.
