Quilts of all colors will be on display in Schoharie County this Saturday.
It's the "Airing of the Quilts," from 9am to 5pm, designed to promote the Schoharie County Quilt Barn Trail.
The Quilt Barn Trail features large quilt blocks decorating homes, barns, stores and other buildings around the county.
The Airing of the Quilts "is to bring more awareness of the Quilt Barn Trail," according to Sharon Aitchison, a member of the Quilt Barn Committee.
"In colonial times, ladies would hang their quilts out in the fresh air to air them out," Ms. Aitchison said.
Quilts will be hanging on Mineral Springs Road and Lawyersville Road in Cobleskill, Coons Road in Middleburgh, Grapevine Farms in Cobleskill and The Apple Barrel in Schoharie, among other locations.
