Welcome to the extraordinary folk art phenomenon of
Barn Quilts!Evansville, Wisconsin has over 80 barn quilts in the area, the highest concentration of this unique art form in Rock County. What are barn quilts? They are quilt block patterns painted on wood, usually 2-foot, 4-foot or 8-foot square. The patterns vary from historical quilt blocks to custom-designed squares. The quilt is then displayed on a barn, or in some cases, on a residence or business.
It’s a visual, enchanting way to promote rural heritage, to honor the art of quilting, and to highlight the architecture and history of barns. The American Barn Quilt Movement began in Ohio and quickly gained momentum in Wisconsin. In Rock County, extraordinary volunteers organized as a group in 2010, and have painted more than 200 quilts on urban and rural sites.
