Here in Truman, the Barn Quilt movement began when Rhonda Kuhlman painted several quilt blocks onto her shed.  The idea also quickly took off in the area, and soon friends and neighbors were being asked about putting quilt blocks up on their barns.  Now, you can find a number of area Barn Quilts hung on more than just barns.  Some choose to decorate small sheds, others mailboxes.  Some now display quilt squares as small garden stakes.  However you see them, or even choose to display them yourself, we hope you enjoy both the craft and heritage that Barn Quilts represent!  Click on the link at the bottom of this page for the brochure with the map.
