This is called a barn quilt, they are very popular in Nebraska. We are pretty sure this is the first on in Kansas. Hopefully this will catch on in Kansas.
Here's a description of the barn:
Featuring a striking design and earthy colors, you canʼt miss this barn quilt located just south of the
intersection of 6th and Oregon Street in S, KS. The artist, Susan (Scoby) Strahm of Pender,
Nebraska, created this piece as a memorial to her parents, Harold and Darlene Scoby, and as a gift to the
farmʼs new owners, Gary and Leslie Scoby. The green colors symbolize the legacy we have as stewards of
the land and the blessing of rain to bring crops of corn, soybeans, and milo. The green winter wheat colors
symbolize the fall season. The gold represents Kansas wheat and draws our memory to the hot harvest days
in July and the fall colors at harvest time. The red in the center represents faith in God and the love of family
and friends as the most important things in life. Lastly, the scattered red triangles of the quilt remind us that
no matter where we live, our hearts will always turn to home and family.
