We have extended the barn quilt trail to Colebrook, NH with the addition of two new blocks in East Colebrook.   In the next two posts, we will introduce the new blocks.

Summer is a great time to get out and visit the trail.   The setting of our barn quilt trail couldn't be better, with the views of Mount Washington, the trip along the Magalloway River on the way to Wilson Mills, Maine, the quaintness of the town of Errol and the beauty of Dixville Notch on the way to Colebrook.

We hope to see the trail grow and look forward to any new additions that are currently in the planning stages.

The block is positioned in such a way, that travelers coming into Errol can see it when coming down Route 26 from Maine.

Quilt Block #3 - Sunny Bolt

This quilt block was an adaption of a quilt design created by one of the Errol school children.   The quilt was a rectangle design and part of the project to transfer the design to the barn quilt, was to identify how to turn it into a square block.   The project worked well, as the kids had to use math to get the right size.

The original quilt is displayed in the glass under the quilt block.   The kids were quite proud of their design.  The school is located on Main Street (Rt. 26), Errol, NH,

Collaborative Project

What do you get when you bring school children, Heritage Commission and quilt group together??  
A great collaborative project.   During the spring of 2011, the three quilt blocks were designed and painted by the team.    This was a great team effort
