LeAnn writes about her quilt, 

"Missouri Barn developed from a photograph I took outside of Hamilton, Missouri. This homesite was obviously once prosperous with a large farmhouse and barns, all seemingly now abandoned. I became intrigued, some might say obsessed, with wondering what the story was behind the barn and its fellows. All of that curiosity went into choosing all the different fabrics in the boards of the barn - representing all the complexity of how life unfolds."

Missouri Barn by LeAnn Hileman won Outstanding Artistry, sponsored by Handi Quilter, at Road to California 2020.

I live in an area replete with buildings like this. Just wondering -- what is the size of this piece? The workmanship (womanship?) is exquisite! :-)

What a great quilt! It really captures the feeling of the forgotten farm. We see many of these in the Michigan countryside.
