Each quilt is actually an 8' x 8' plywood square in which the barn owner (or an artist of their choice) can paint a design. The barn owner is responsible for the cost of the squares, but is helping the community become a richer cultural area.
These are the barn quilts approved by the Cultural Economic Development Task Force. Dial (231) 480-3084 and use the following extensions for an audio narrative:

There are now a total of eleven quilts gracing the facade of area barns. In addition to being part of five trails on the Mason County Cultural Trails, those on the planning committee envision this as a regional project, connecting with the Old Mission Peninsula Quilt Barn Trail.
