Billings Farm & Museum is bringing the rural artistry of barn quilts to our scenic site from April 4 – December 1. Barn quilting recreates the concept of quilt squares on durable mediums such as plywood. These squares, starting at 4 feet by 4 feet and up, feature striking colors and simple geometric designs.
Collaborating with Vermont artists as well as artisans from the Chelsea Barn Quilt Project and Barn Quilts of Northern Vermont who have been working to highlight barn quilting in Vermont, each space will host a uniquely crafted piece inspired by nature, math, agriculture, and the history of the Billings Farm site. Guests can wander through the picturesque farm and take in the boldly painted patterns that will adorn historic barns and buildings.
This exhibition is included with admission.

The display features 56 quilts showcasing a sampler of skills and techniques, while also highlighting the stories of their makers. Interpretive panels and gallery labels guide visitors through themes including inspiration, current events, teaching and learning, fabric as a memory, humor, and joy. These themes explore the creative process and celebrate the emotional connections that quilts can provide.
Awards include Juror’s Choice and Staff Choice. Vote for your favorite quilt to be selected for the People’s Choice Award, which will be announced on July 27. Ballots are available in the exhibition hall
Visitors are invited to try engaging, hands-on activities, including scavenger hunts, a quilt piecing game, and a quilt “anatomy” display with touchable fabrics to show all the pieces that go into quilt making. Find quilt-related books for all ages in the exhibition space and create your own quilt square for a large signature quilt.
On select weekends, local quilting guilds will demonstrate quilting techniques, present quilts by guild members, and answer questions about quilting.
