Background on Barn Quilts.

 TheBarnQuilter - Jeff Kurtz, Carterville, IL


Barn Quilts came to the US with German and Swiss immigrants to Pennsylvania in the late 1700’s.  They were originally painted directly on barns and later were panels mounted on barns.


Today they are art displayed nationwide.
