Peacock, English residence

The 4-by-4-foot, peacock-design barn quilt is located at 3162 Route 193 in Sheffield Township. It is mounted over the second-story balcony of the house, owned by Daniel and Jane English.

The BQT committee welcomes the English family to our family of barn quilt owners. Thank you!

There has never been a better time to enjoy Ashtabula County’s barn quilt trail than this spring and summer. Gas is cheap, the landscape is greening and all of us could use a respite from the house without violating the social-distancing guidelines that have been implemented during the pandemic.
