The Union County Quilt Trail Project is officially underway.

The first quilt square, painted on a specialized aluminum board, has been hung on a building next to the Mike Delamar home on US 60 between Morganfield and Waverly.

Those interested in having a quilt square adorn their home, barn or any outdoor structure should call Vicki Ricketts at the Museum, 389-4420; Melanie Bealmear at the Extension Office, 389-1400; or Paul Monsour, Union County First-Tourism, 952-1191.

There is a $225 one time fee for an eight foot by eight foot square and a $125 fee for a four foot by foot square.  The fee covers the cost of the board, paint and other necessary supplies and there is no built in profit.  The painting is done by volunteers.  The first painting measures four feet by four feet.

The only other requirements are that the square be visible from the road or highway and the person asking for the quilt square supply the design. 

The organizers of the local project are in hopes of establishing a quilt trail through the county and use it to attract visitors and promote tourism.

The painting will take place at various locations, including the Museum, Old National Bank basement and the Henshaw Community Center.
