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.
Variable Star is a popular pattern that has been used by American quilters for almost 100 years. The pattern combines half-square triangles with corner squares and a center square to create an eight-point star. In May of 2008, this barn quilt was viewed by thousands of people who visited the Scwarzenberger Farm near Monroe when the family hosted the Green County Breakfast on the Farm.
