Wow! You did a great job (and nice shed too!). OK--makes me want to get going on mine--only need the paint--even have the primer--but just stalled out last Fall!

That's like the one I painted and hung on front of my building that my quilting machines are in. It's on my avatar picture. Mine is red white and blue.

I have a real barn! I have been talking about a barn quilt all winter. I have it figured out to get 4 pieces of plywood, all squares and then do 1/4 of the pattern on each. I love yours but you put a lot of time into it. I'm not sure I could do that. You have me thinking! Thank you for sharing!

One thing she also said which surprised me was to not put a sealer over the paint cause it creates problem when you go to re-paint. You can Google their website--pretty neat.
