Geocache Description:


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 was built in approximately 1971. It is used for machinery storage and repair. When Wayne met with us to decide on the pattern in wanted something with a sun on it, but does not like yellow. Researching patterns we came up with the Moon & Star pattern, painted it in Amish colors and when it was hung, decided that it needed to be renamed, hence Once in a Blue Moon! The original barn on this property burned in 1988. The second story was destroyed. The single story addition had a new roof installed. This Barn Quilt is called Once in a Blue Moon.
