Description
Go west of Columbia, Missouri you will start to see barns with quilt blocks painted on the sides. The mission of the Barn Quilts of the Boonslick Region is to promote and celebrate the unique agricultural experience of the region through the visual combination of barns vital to the economic well-being of the rural community and the comfort of homemade quilts that provided warmth, beauty and an outlet for individual expression. This pattern was chosen because of the barn's proximity to the Santa Fe Trail, the Boonslick Trail, U.S. Route 40 and I-70. The region truly represents transportation to the west.
