Synopsis

A drive through the rural farmland of Green County Wisconsin is very colorful today because many brilliant "quilt blocks," called barn quilts are on display on barns and other farm structures throughout the area. This coloring book is an opportunity to creatively color 50 Green County Wisconsin bran quilts...relax and have fun and try several different color patterns for the various barn quilts.Barn quilts help promote and celebrate the unique agricultural heritage and history of Green County through the visual combination of rural barns and barn quilt blocks. Barns are vital to the economic well being of the rural community and surrounding area. Homemade barn quilts provide warmth, beauty and an outlet for individual and group artistic expression.A barn quilt is made by painting a quilt pattern on a 3/4 inch MDO square then mounting it on a barn or other outlying structure. Two coats of primer are applied to both sides of the board and edges. After the pattern is drawn out painter's (Frog) tape is applied outlining the various sections of the quilt pattern. Three coats are more of each color are applied, with each coat being allowed to dry thoroughly. After the quilt is finished, it is allowed to cure for at least two weeks before it is mounted.Making a barn quilt allows individuals and volunteer groups the opportunity to create and paint their own quilt square. The design that is chosen may represent a family pattern from a loved quilt or perhaps a new pattern meaningful to the individual creator(s).
