The Barn Quilt Trail in Lake County (lakecountyquilttrail.com) and Plumas County (plumascounty.org) brings new meaning to quilts, showcasing them as barn art. Barn quilts actually can be seen  in various locations throughout the U.S.!

Though the majority of people who make quilts are women, throughout time quilts have been treasured gifts enjoyed by men, as well. Handed down as heirloom treasures telling the story of families, histories and events, these custom-made bed covers and blankets are personalized creations that you’ll find in museums.
