Notes:
Terry Blanton Plank submitted the application for obtaining the barn quilt for her parents.  Both of her grandmothers, Thelma Ratliff and Flo Blanton were avid quilt makers.  Since both of them had made a version of the "Trip Around the World" that pattern was chosen.
The farm is part of the property originally owned by Fred's grandfather J.T. "Bunk" Evans, purchased in 1957 by Fred & Brenda Blanton.  The barn was built by John Sloan in 1958.
