Quilt Trails are a unique grassroots public art movement that spans the entire country with hundreds of quilt trails, having started in Ohio in 2001. Michigan has close to 20 different trails consisting of artistic quilt designs that adorn barns, homes, businesses, and other structures throughout the State. Mecosta County began a Quilt Block Trail in 2013 and has close to 70 different colorful blocks celebrating our rural heritage. New blocks are added throughout the year.
