Painted Barn Quilts are becoming more popular along the Iowa country roads. This colorful quilt was spotted along Hwy. 9 about 10 minutes west of Rock Rapids in the NW corner of the state. It appears to be a variation of the windmill pattern, very appropriate for this Dutch heritage so prominent in this area.

We just happened to drive by this great example of Barn Quilt art. No one was home at the time, but a very friendly dog came out to greet us when I took the photos. I wonder how many others stop to see this example of rural artistry.
