Host a Quilt Block

How to Host a Quilt Block:

Getting onto the "BARN QUILT TRAIL" starts with a contact to the New Jersey Barn Quilt Association: info@njbarnquilts.com - Whether you have an old barn, wagon shed, farm stand or other agricultural building; we would like you to consider a barn quilt to add beauty and increase the tourism traffic to your area/business.

You can get your own quilt block by completing a simple application, (available below). We will help you to find just the right block to tell your story. A list of quilt blocks already claimed has been compiled and is attached to the guidelines, available by clicking on the link below.

We are trying hard not to duplicate any patterns, so that you can have fun finding the various blocks and not see the same block twice. We are working to produce a brochure, with descriptions of the quilt blocks and directions to the various farms. Stay tuned for updates on these!

Some of the rules for hosting a quilt block:

• We are encouraging the use of designs with straight lines, in primary colors.
• You cannot alter the block once it is chosen and painted
• You must agree to allow your building to be photographed by the public and allow photos to be used in advertising the New Jersey Quilt Trail
• You must agree to participate in the New Jersey Quilt Trail for a minimum of 2 years
  
  Other terms and conditions may apply - see complete guidelines for the NJ Barn Quilts project in the information files by clicking on the link below. For questions or further information, contact us at the email above or call 908.459.4421.
