Quilt Trails are a unique
grassroots public art movement
and spans the entire country
with hundreds of quilt trails,
having started in Ohio in
2001. Michigan has close to
20 different trails consisting of
artistic quilt designs that adorn
barns, homes, businesses, and
other structures throughout the
State. Mecosta County began
a Quilt Block Trail in 2013 and
has close to 40 different colorful
blocks celebrating our rural
heritage. New blocks are added
throughout the year.
