We will start at The TAUNY Center, 53 Main St, Canton, NY 13617 we'll introduce people to barn quilts: what they are, why people make them, how the trails have been developed. We'll also show the newly-made St. Lawrence County Barn Quilt Mural and talk about that project.

At Pickens, we'll emphasize that traditional quilt patterns are the inspiration for most barn quilts and we'll talk about Amish culture and the quilts they make.
