FLATROCK — The Mason County Quilt Square Trail series continues despite winter’s icy blast.

The 10th quilt square of the series can be seen on Charles “Bud” and LuAnne Cottrill’s farm located on W.Va. 2 north of Point Pleasant in the Flatrock area.

Cottrill explained that the 70-acre farm has been in his family since the 1950s.

“I used to work on the farm as a kid,” Cottrill said. “The quilt square is a great way to get ag tourism started again in this area.”

Cottrill hopes the project will draw interest and develop agriculture tourism to the farm and the rest of the trail in Mason County.

“We are trying to get agriculture production started again on the farm,” Cottrill said. “Like it was when I was young.”

The square on the barn is an actual duplicate of one of Cottrill’s grandmother’s quilts; even down to the exact colors and designs. This is why Cottrill decided to go with Grandmother’s Flower Garden as his choice of quilt squares.

Cottrill said that he is proud to be a part of the series and is excited about what the warmer months bring for tourism in Mason County and along the trail.
