This barn quilt is hiding on the side of the barn that faces the cross road. I drove right past it and then spotted the block as I came from the opposite direction trying to hunt down the address.
This is the Honebrink barn in Belle Plaine, Minnesota.
Getting a picture of the block itself was something of a challenge. I was fully zoomed on my camera taking the barn picture from the road. I took the pictures for the block from a closer spot, but that made the angle a bit odd, and the detail is still a bit grainy.
The quilt block on this barn is a custom block with a story behind it. I love this. Quilts should have stories.
The barn belongs to Brian and Suzanne Honebrink and the design comes from the pattern on the last quilt made by Meta Luebke, Brian’s grandmother. This barn quilt block was created in 2011. Suzanne worked on the barn quilt block, painting the details of the calico fabric patterns. Meta passed away in 2013 at age 107.
A few miles down the road, I spotted this sign.
