Shawano County, Wisconsin More Barn Quilts.

The one thing with Shawano County, is they do have a map, but it does not give the name of the blocks.
There are over 250 barn quilts.
As I was coming home from the Iron River Quilt Retreat in Michigan, I took a route through part of Shawano County.
So no names for the blocks.

This one has the silhouette shows a sheep. 

I have always referred to this block as Nosegay.  Love how the trees were turning to compliment the coloring on the block.

This is a popular block.
The blocks to here were on route 47 until going into town.

Here is the silhouette of the horse this time.
After I traveled through town of Shawano, I picked up route 29, heading into Green Bay.
I did stop on the highway to capture a few pictures.
Because I was on a 4 lane highway, I did miss a couple.

Love this block, and on the red barn, wonderful.

I wish their map had had the names of the blocks that were created.
These are the John Deer colors.

This was an adjoining barn, again in the John Deer colors.

Here they are together.

Love the green. Along route 29.

Great block of the barn.

Great colors.

Shawano Country promotes cycling through the county to see the barn quilts.  

  

Just south of exit 160 on the Route 43 is this great barn.
I saw it on my way up north, but at 70 miles an hour I could not stop to get pictures.
I had made a note to stop and take a picture on my way back home.

What a great barn, and 5 barn quilts to boot.

You just never know what you will see on the road. 

A little harder to see when you are driving alone.  Please drive safely.

As I said before, I did miss a couple, now to find a time to go back and see more.

Have a great week.

More Barn Quilts of Shawao, Wisconsin

I could not find the name of this one, although another farm, has one that is similar.
Again, at first we did not know we were on a "trail".  We thought farms in the area had just put up barn quilts.

This one is "WELCOME HOME".  It was designed by a daughter of the Zenk family.  Her father was a veteran of the Vietnam War. 

"COLONIAL GARDEN" is on the barn of Knueppel & Sons, in Cecil, Wisconsin.

"COUNTY FAIR" is on one of the buildings at the Shawano County Fairgrounds in Shawano.
This is the 250th barn quilt.

Here is "AVIAN ABODE" on The South Forty store in Shawano.  One of the window displays was all bird houses.

Appropriately named!

This is "FLAMING STAR" on the Ainsworth family barn in Shawano.

Then sometimes we saw interesting barns.

This Wisconsin, area had so many barns. Some just seemed to collapse straight down. It was like someone just took the side walls out and the roof went straight down.

No name of this quilt.  Would love to know what it is.  As you can see, the blocks have added elements to them, as this guitar. In reading some of the information, common block was used, and something else representative of the family has been added.

Here is "BOER GOT PRIDE", on the Bohr Farm, in Navarino, Wisconsin.

"A DIAMOND FIELD" is on the Samz Family farm, in Shiocton, Wisconsin.
