Barn Quilt Locations
6375 State Route 54, Mechanicsburg
Barn Owners: John Wilson and Kelly Evans-Wilson
Quilt Square: "Double Wedding Ring"
Sponsors: The Wilson Family
The barn's original stone foundation was built in the early 1900s and today's structure was constructed in the 1940s. The Wilson family purchased the farm in 1961.
John and Kelly selected the "Double Wedding Ring" pattern because Kelly's grandmother made them a double wedding ring quilt on their wedding day. The bright colors were selected by John, Kelly and their children.
