Oh Nikki!!!
I'm so jealous!!! I love barns, but the ones with the quilt pieces seem extra special. Of all the times, hours, miles we spent driving through Iowa on our way to Minnesota, I never had the chance to get any shots of these barns...or covered bridges for that matter! What a lovely, summertime in the country shot!!! LOVE IT!!

Wonderful summer light in this beautiful country scene, Nikki...great comp and details. I saw several of these barns with the quilt emblems driving home from KY and so wanted to photograph them...had a new puppy in tote, so couldn't... I'll rather enjoy yours vicariously...very nice!

Great find and love the sign, Nikki! My wife and I drove around Southeast IA one afternoon where we used to live and only found one remaining barn.

Wow... This image has the beauty and freshness that would lure the throngs of tourists. A top selling post card to be sure. Or a centerfold in a high-end coffee table book.
