This Barn Quilt Trail in Mississippi Offers Old-Fashioned Fun

Featuring colorful geometric patterns, quilt squares sure are beautiful. It’s a shame they’re just for bedding – or so you thought. Turns out, there are barn quilts, which are wood versions of classic quilt squares. And the best part is there’s a barn quilt trail in Mississippi that’ll lead you straight to them. Take a look:

Much more than beautiful pieces of art, barn quilts were created in order to preserve old quilt patterns, which might otherwise be lost.

Based on traditional quilt patterns, barn quilts feature one geometric quilt block painted onto a solid piece of wood.

And don’t let the name fool you. The eye-catching creations can be found on all sorts of buildings – not just barns.

Though barn quilts can be found in various parts of Mississippi, they’re more common in the northern part of the state.

Finding barn quilts is easy since the state is home to several barn quilt trails.

One of the most popular is the Buttahatchee Barn Quilt Trail. As you can see from the map, the trail is brimming with barn quilts.

Like most barn quilt trails, the Buttahatchee Barn Quilt Trail features artwork by local volunteers.

The trail is the perfect route for a leisurely drive and some old-fashioned fun.

And whether you visit all the barn quilts depicted on the map or just a few, you’re sure to be impressed with the vibrant works of art.

Adding pops of color and lots of local character to Mississippi landscapes, barn quilts are a charming addition to our already beautiful state.
