Handmade quilts for years brought wintertime comfort to Western North Carolina mountain families and making them, brought communities together. As women gathered to stitch together the small, brightly colored squares of cloth, they exchanged family stories and created memories. Volunteers in six counties have followed the lead of an Ohio woman who honored her quilter mother by painting a wooden block in a quilt pattern and hanging it on her barn. Now, more than 200 brightly painted “quilt blocks” are brightening main highways and country roads in Ashe, Avery, Mitchell, Madison, Yancy, and Watauga counties. We now have our history in front of us all the time.

Take a drive this fall and check out the Quilt Trails project, which is bringing more color, customs and tourist to the Northwestern Carolina countryside. For more information please visit http://quilttrailswnc.org/maps.html
