The Stitches in Time Barn Quilt Trail | Franklin County, PA

The Stitches in Time Barn Quilt Trail includes more than three dozen quilt squares spread throughout the agricultural landscape and small towns in Franklin County PA.  Wooden barn quilt squares are brightly colored and painted to look like a quilt block.  They are usually based on traditional patterns with individual influences making them unique to each property and community.

The Stitches in Time guidebook (downloadable brochure) includes the locations of the barn quilts, map, story of the square, and more!  The map begins at the Franklin County 11/30 Visitors Center, but you can start the trail anywhere.

Here are a few photos of the barn quilts we have seen on our travels so far!
