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.
