Barn Quilts

Barn Quilts

In 2008 the Barn Quilts of Kankakee County was formed. It designed, painted and installed ten quilts on barns and corncribs around the county. In 2009, nine additional quilts are to be installed in June and will be added to this short video.

Barn Quilt Art Project

In 2008, the Pat Alcorn homeschooling art class in Herscher, Illinois designed, painted and assisted in the installation of a 8 x 8’ plywood barn quilt on the corncrib on Pat’s mother’s farm just west of Kankakee, Illinois, 40 miles south of Chicago. Ten quilts were installed last summer, at least nine more in 2009. The class will be creating another barn quilt in the summer of 2009.
