If you would like to join the trail you have a number of options. You can make or purchase your barn quilt and install it on your building and if it meets our requirements we will list it on the trail.  A second option is to request some help from the barn quilt trail committee. We can help you pick a quilt pattern or help design and make a quilt.  We presently have some barn quilts that are completed and ready to hang. We also have a limited amount of material if you would like to design and build your own quilt.

All barn quilts on The Red Clay Trail must be based on a traditional quilt block or a family heirloom pattern and may not contain any POLITICAL messages, representations from religious or special interest groups, family initials or crests, sports logos or advertising of any kind.

In order to be approved for the Red Clay Trail, the location must be in Clay County and your building must meet the following conditions as a minimum: The grounds around the building must be well kept and free of junk piles or broken down equipment. Buildings must be unobstructed by trees, bushes, or other buildings and must be close enough to a road for a barn quilt block to be easily recognizable . The location must afford a good unobstructed view from a public road as well as a safe place for passersby to pull over and take pictures. If you are approved for the Red Clay Trail there is no cost for the property owner but the property owner is responsible to have the barn quilt installed on the building. The Red Clay Barn Quilt committee reserves the right to refuse to provide its services. The decision of the trail committee is final.
