Butler County
is part of a growing quilt trail throughout Iowa. The Butler
County Barn Quilt project continues to grow after a great start
in 2007. Those who travel the roads of Butler County will be
treated to a wide variety of colorful quilt blocks on barns and
other farm buildings spread throughout the county. These blocks
are a way to combine and draw attention to the area’s true
agricultural heritage with our love of the art of quilting. It
is good to note that although society has changed, the barn of
today shelters the livestock and their needs as the quilt
continues to warm the hearts and souls of the residents. The
blocks have been chosen with care and attention to what the
particular block means to the family as did the design of the
barn at the time it was built many years ago.
