Lilly Obrien of Placerville paints a pinwheel design onto her barn quilt board during the Quilt Trail Paint Party at Rainbow Orchards Apple Hill Thursday. Participants had the opportunity to craft their own barn quilts, extending the Quilt Trail to their own homes or wherever they choose to place their quilts. Barn quilts are 3-to-4-foot wooden squares that are hand-painted and put up on barns and historical buildings, in gardens or homes to add a little color to the countryside with historical quilt patterns. The American Quilt Trail Movement, which began in Ohio in 2001 and has since manifested in El Dorado County as the Quilt Trail Project, has decorated the landscape in 43 states including three counties in California.
