Grundy County was the first county in Iowa to start the painted barn quilt project, a rural art form that has caught on to create more than 60 unique quilts. The idea started in 2003 to lure tourists into their area. Alliant Energy agreed to mount them at no cost to the owner. It is not unusual to see bus tours or private motorists slowing down or stopping at one of these colorful farms.
A rainbow of jewel tones fan out on this colorful barn quilt. “Grandmother’s Fan” was mounted on this storage shed in 2006, one of two hung that year. This great barn quilt is #27 on the quilt tour map and is easily seen on the east side of S Avenue, several miles north of Morrison.
