Well, look at this ! Hardy County Barn Quilt Trail and students!

West Virginia Studies students learned about the cultural significance of barn quilts to immigrants and as possible secret messages during the Underground Railroad. They took a virtual tour of the Hardy County Barn Quilt Trail. Then, they each created a barn quilt on graph paper. One student even created a fabric quilt square.
