The Hart County Quilt Trails Project

History The Quilt Trail project began in Adams County, Ohio, when Donna Sue Groves, a field representative for the Ohio Arts Council, decided that she wanted a quilt square painted on her barn to honor her mother, a lifelong quilter. Donna Sue shared her idea with friends in the community, who offered their help. They decided that if they were going to paint one quilt square, they might as well paint twenty and create a driving tour to attract tourists to their rural community.

Hart County’s Project began in the Spring of Hart County Extension Office worked with a volunteer steering committee. The project is still continuing with 47 now placed.
