The Storm Lake area offers a lot of “tours” such as historical trees, windmill farms, and chainsaw carvings, but one of the most fascinating trips through the countryside is the search for painted barn quilts. More than 40 of these works of art embellish the barns all over Buena Vista County.

The Blue Bell barn quilt is found on 590th Street several miles SW of Alta. The striking blue and purple bells add a cheerful note especially on a cold winter day. The painting is on the east side of the barn.
