Plateau Discovery Gardens is located on Experiment Station Road off of Highway 70N in Crossville, TN. There is a barn quilt on a building near the entrance. It references the Upper Cumberland Quilt Trail. I believe that the pattern is a Lemoyne star quilt pattern.

"The story of the American Quilt Trail, featuring the colorful patterns of quilt squares painted large on barns throughout North America, is the story of one of the fastest-growing grassroots public arts movements in the United States and Canada. Our barn quilt is visible near the entrance to the Plateau Discovery Garden."

"In cooperation with the University of Tennessee Ag Research and UT Extension, we develop and maintain an educational demonstration garden on highway 70 N. It is open 7 days a week during daylight hours for self-guided tours. This is now one of three TN State Botanical gardens and has earned several other designations. Many classes are held here during the year and the Kinder Garden for the young ones is also a part of this project."
