By the end of July, we will have 20 barn quilts up in our northern Illinois county for visitors to view on a self-guided driving tour. Our committee began designing, painting and installing the 8 x 8' plywood quilt blocks in 2008 on barns and corncribs that are at least 50-years old, most are on century farm in Kankakee County. My husband and I have made a 2:21 movie about the barn quilts. Please take a look. At the end it will tell you how to get the written directions for the driving tour. Best, Carolyn
I went to the site but was not able to find which one it was, there are so many. By the way, my maiden name is Spratt, I was born in Seattle to Samuel John and Vera Spratt in 1946. Is this your married name? Welcome to MJ's by the way, great place! Lots of fun.
