Quilt Trail, May 8, 2017

New Albany, Mississippi, USA, May 3, 2017
Quilt Trail Public Art is an effort by the Union County Heritage Museum to preserve old quilt patterns by painting them on wood squares. The largest collection is at Pocket Park in New Albany, but other quilt art pieces can be found around New Albany and in surrounding towns.

I am thankful that I had the best mother-in-law that any one could wish for. She was a great blessing to me. If she were still alive, she could tell me the names of every one of these quilt patterns.

I love all the vibrant colors: the reds, blues, greens, and yellows!

This steel sculpture entitled "Swamp Flower" is by Louisiana artist Mia Kaplan.

I hope you are having a wonderful week!

    Very interesting! I've never seen that sort of quilt trail, but it's very similar to the barn quilt trail we have here.

    What wonderful heritage is encompassed in that quilt pattern display! I don't quilt, but I'd like to know more about the meanings of the patterns. Lovely.

    Neat! Here they mount squares like this on barns and call them barn quilts.

    What a neat idea, it certainly adds charm and character to an ordinary fence. It would definitely pique my interest in the quilts.

    How neat is that! I'll have to write this down in my journal in case we can stop there when we travel. I love the old patterns and my Grandmother made a lot of them too. Hugs!
