It took a while to realize that they were quilt block designs. We spoke with a tour guide at Linville Caverns and were informed that they were part of a Quilt Trail that includes 6 contiguous North Carolina Counties.
I immediately began to collect photos of them to show quilting friends including Aunt Millie, my Mom Ella and Fred's sister Nancy.
Linville Cavern's where I first learned the origin of the trail has 2 quilt blocks.
A Bat's Life block #128 features the Cavern and pays homage to the bats winter residents Pipistrelle Bats.

They were really beautiful Jim. Each one work of art.
ReplyDeleteThe part that I liked was just riding/driving around this beautiful area to try and find some of them. That was the fun part.
