    My barn quilt would incorporate a Nine-Patch in honor of my Grandmother. It was her favorite block to make.

    I would do a Bears Paw Block since we live close to the Smoky Mountains. We even had a bear in our area several years ago.

    I'd do the OREGON block because this is where I live! (Someday hope to make one for our shed.)

    I'd put a Churn Dash up. I reall like that block. Furthermore it would be kind of fun putting a "hole in the barndoor" on a barn.

    Anyway, I think a simple design works best as it still has great visual impact from a distance.

    I am trying to decide which one I want to do also. I don't have a barn but I would like to put one on the front of my house.

    Wouldn't it be cool if all quilters put one on their homes. It says "A quilter lives here!"

    Mine will be Annie's Choice--------obvious reasons. A dark red on beige to match the barn. lol

    I've also modified a "Road to........." block that I hope to do for our neighborhood church's storage barn. It will be brown to represent road, dark red to represent houses and green to represent trees.
