Really! So did you do that also to control those aquatic plants? Are they doing a great job?

We put them in during the original stocking of the pond, just after it was built. We still get some algae bloom that we treat chemically, but the fish usually take care of the other plant life. The are pigs!

I heard of this being done, but unsure if its just a farm or barn custom. What's the background of it?

It's beautiful, but what a waste of a beautiful quilt that no doubt took a lot of time to make. Even if it is protected from the weather, the sun will fade it.

The article Turbo sent say the barn quilt is made of painted squares, not cloth.

Thanks, that makes sense. I know the huge amount of time my wonderful mil spent hand stitching her beautiful quilts. She made her 4 daughters and all her grandchildren quilts which are treasured by everyone of them. 15 total. Ours is used as a bedspread in one of the guest bedrooms. We also have some TOWTA inherited when mil passed. Hand stitched everyone of them.

Thanks - interesting and while the article doesn't say the custom is unique to any part of the country, I figured Iowa and Illnois would have many of them.

I grew up in Upstate NY and there were/are many barns there, but I don't ever remember this being done.

I know what you are speaking of here regarding quilts. My DW used to sew a lot and got the idea to make an quilt. As usual, she did a lot of research on how to do it the right way as well as the custom of them.

She brought a few books on the subject and I browsed though some of them. There are some Very interesting things and dos and donts about them.

On way to table rock lake in Branson mo. Little dark out. No camper this week, just a high end condo with pool and boat slip.

It will be ok, been there more times than I can count. May be the last tour, thinking about selling the 21 foot Triton. It's a beast, still runs 68mph but only used 1 time in 2 years, new cover, new wheel bearings and 4 new Goodyear marathons 225 75 r14's.
