Favorite barn quilt block art?

Hey neighbors! I’m an artist and seamstress in the Madison area, and since moving here in April of this year, I have been enjoying the roadside art all over the state.

I’m particularly in love with the quilt blocks on barns and other buildings all over the place along the highways.

I’d love to do an art piece or maybe even make an all-Wisconsin quilt one day with only the blocks from the barns, with their “hometown” embroidered on, even family or farm name if available.

So, would you mind sharing pics of your favorites? If you’re feeling industrious, I’d love some help to collect reference photos - I’m only one person, and I have a bunch of photos I’ll add here, but they’re notably crappy lmao since I’m usually zipping by on the highway.

Thanks for reading! Feel free to DM me about this or anything else you see me getting up to.
