Barn Quilt
 

My husband and I painted this barn quilt for my Mother's barn here in Wisconsin. We also painted another one exactly the same for my garage. I now have 3 barn quilts and I change them occasionally.

Fantastic! I don't have a barn but I do have big garage out back, maybe I should put a barn quilt on it. That sounds really fun. How big did you make them? Peggy

That is so cool. I have a barn quilt on order. I can't wait for it to get here.

You did a great job with the painting!

l love the bright colours
very nice

Great barn quilt! I love them but thought I don't have a place to put one. But.... I just put a small shed on my deck. I could do a 1.5x1.5 ft one... hmmmmm, wheels turning

Beautiful, did you have a pattern or did you make you own?

I love your star, and you did an outstanding job on painting it. Your points are perfect.

What a great barn quilt. That would be perfect for memorial day. Fourth of July and labor day.

That is beautiful. I want one for my patio.

So, they are like "hex signs" that people put on barns? Very stunning!

This is so awesome....Ilove barn quilts. Just purchased Eleanor Burns "Barn quilts" book, and I love love love it!

Great job!

Beautiful barn quilt! Great pattern, colors, and workmanship! :)

Very beautiful!!

Beautiful!!! Tell us about your process....did you tape it to get everything so perfect? What type paint did you use?
I love it!!

I am making the "Barn Quilts on American Barns" quilt. I have all the blocks done and assembled. I am now in the process of putting all the borders on. I am going to add borders until it is a queen size quilt. The barn quilt I painted, is 4 feet X 4 feet the design is taken from Eleanors barn quilts book. It was tricky to get the proper angles and to tape it all of to paint it, but I love it and it was worth the work!!! Thanks everyone for your nice comments.

WOW gorgeous! You need to show us the others.

We just bought a 4 ft X 4 ft piece of plywood. A better grade of plywood is helpful. I just divided up the board as though I was drawing a 9 patch. Then just worked each section out, drawing lines . We then taped off all the parts we wanted White. Painted them, a couple of times. Then proceeded to tape off and paint the next color. As you can tell this is a little tedious but also a lot of fun. You just paint a little each day. We used exterior paint from Menards. I hope you all will try it. Lots of fun!!!

We got a 4 ft by 4 ft good quality piece of plywood from Menards. We did not screw it directly to the wall, we used metal hangers and have large screws to slip the hangers onto. Since I have painted 2 other designs (3 altogether) then I can change out my design occasionally. Keeps my neighbors guessing!!!

Boy, those points are to die for! Wow! This is fabulous!

I wish the actual fabric quilt block in my "Barn Quilts on American Barns" quilt was that perfect!! Yikes!!

It looks great.

Never heard of one! Thats soo neat!

nice barn quilt

Oh I hope you post your "Barn Quilt Quilt". That sounds fun to make. Thanks for your 'Barn Quilt' info! It sounds like so much fun to do. I'm thinking I need this Elenor Burns book.

Very pretty and patriotic, would be great for July

This is a beautiful quilt barn block. My husband and I follow the trails whenever possible. We have several hundred "finds" in our photo collection. My website has many pics.
My next novel is about a quilt barn painter. I'm currently doing the research and rough draft. Next week I'm speaking at a Ntl. Educators convention about the quilt barns. I think I have 175 pics for the presentation with ideas about using quilting for teaching.
I hope to figure out a way to put my Power Point on my website so people can enjoy the many lovely patterns we've found.

love it, maybe I'll do a garage quilt, do ya think my hubby would notice?

I have a huge detached garage that I could put a barn quilt on the front of. I need to look into it!

Love it! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much!

Pretty! Makes a dramatic statement.

I love your barn quilt. Great job! Are there any tutes on making them or did you wing it?

Pretty! Will look great displayed.

Great paint job. Love the pattern you selected. You'll have to share your other ones with us. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful piece. I've got it on my bucket list to make a "shed quilt" since I don't have a barn. But that's after a lot of UFOs and a long list of "to dos"

It's terrific1 What a great way to dress up a house, barn, or anything!

It's gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

Just terrific, really a great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day
