Abstract:
Works of art produced by the Quilt Trail Project are partly utilitarian; within these decorative squares are stories of people from a region. Six Western North Carolina counties host over two hundred quilt blocks whose stories reflect the history of towns as well as individuals. Examples include a block of an open door, which hangs in a Burnsville bank. The bank’s significance lie in being the only one to stay open in that area during the Great Depression.

North of Chapel Hill on State Route 86 is what looks like a group of small, white, stone doghouses on the side of the road. About twenty structures form White Rock Village, and they are all the work of one man, Henry Warren. White Rock Village is an intriguing and impressive work of folk art, drawing considerable attention to his use of available materials and traditions patterns of stonemasonry.
