Swain County’s Quilt Trail Showcases Our Mountain Heritage
Quilt Trails got their start in 2001 when an Ohio women painted a block on her family barn to honor her mother, a quilter. From that first block, the idea has grown to cover 49 states with thousands of quilt blocks – featured not only on barns, but public buildings, shops, homes, and now – in Bryson City – on an island.
Enjoy exploring the beautiful scenery here in Western North Carolina as you follow the Swain County Quilt Trail.
