Description

The story of the American Quilt Trail; featuring the colorful patterns of quilt squares writ large on barns throughout North America; is the story of one of the fastest-growing grassroots public arts movements in the United States and Canada. In Barn Quilts and the American Quilt Trail Movement Suzi Parron travels through twenty-nine states and two Canadian provinces to visit the people and places that have put this movement on Americarsquo;s tourist and folk art map. Through dozens of interviews with barn artists; committee members; and barn owners Parron documents a journey that began in 2001 with the founder of the movement; Donna Sue Groves. Grovesrsquo;s desire to honor her mother with a quilt square painted on their barn became a group effort that eventually grew into a county-wide project. Today; registered quilt squares form a long imaginary clothesline; appearing on more than three thousand barns scattered along one hundred driving trails. With more than fifty full-color photographs; Parron documents a movement that combines rural economic development with an American folk art phenomenon.
