History
The Quilt Trail project began in Adams County, Ohio, when Donna Sue Groves, a field representative for the Ohio Arts Council, decided that she wanted a quilt square painted on her barn to honor her mother, a lifelong quilter. Donna Sue shared her idea with friends in the community, who offered their help. They decided that if they were going to paint one quilt square, they might as well paint twenty and create a driving tour to attract tourists to their rural community.

Quilt “Hanging”Hart County
SCRTC and FRECC has provided a bucket truck and workers, who hang the quilts on barns, delighted to be part of this heartwarming community project.
Hart County’s Project began in the Spring of 2008. Hart County Extension Office worked with a volunteer steering committee. The project is still continuing with 47 now placed.
The Quilt Trail project has taken deep root in Kentucky and spread quickly. The first square in Kentucky was painted and hung in Carter County by local volunteers with support from the Gateway Resource Conservation and Development Council.
