Barn Quilt at Grand River Cellars

Previously I have written about quilt trails that have included wineries as part of their trail. In particular Lake County in California has a notable quilt trail. However we recently learned that, based on the information available, the first barn quilt block was hung in Ohio.

Last month while visiting wineries in Ohio, I came across another quilt trail. Several wineries in Ashtabula County are members of the Ashtabula County Barn Quilt Trail.

It’s fun searching out the unique when traveling and just adds another dimension to your trips. When visiting wineries look for quilt blocks attached to the sides of buildings especially old barn siding. To be on the quilt trail in Ashtabula,  quilt blocks must be either 4×4 feet or 8×8 feet.

Watch the Date: In May, 2016, Suzi Parron, author of Barn Quilts and the American Quilt Trail is scheduled to present about the American Barn Quilt Trail Movement. Program is free.

Below is a list of the Ohio wineries participating in the Ashtabula Quilt  Barn Trail. When planning your visit along the wine and quilt trails be sure to print a map.
