A group of concerned citizens and quilt lovers want to decorate Rowan County barns with quilt squares. 
They want to beautify the county and make others aware of our heritage.
They would like to encourage others to come and see the quilt squares and visit the foothills 
of the Appalachian 
Mountains in Rowan County. We welcome all visitors. Contact us at rcquilttrail@yahoo.com if you have any questions. 


The Rowan County Foothills Quilt Square group is seeking barn nominations. The barns will be decorated with quilt squares painted on 8-foot by 8-foot wooden panels. The committee hopes you will join us in beautifying our county.  


Similar projects have been done in Bath, Carter, Elliott, Menifee and other Counties in Kentucky
