I did some barn quilts and put on our privacy fence. I just used regular quilt patterns and drew them to scale with a yard stick, some of it was free hand (flowers). My DH used 4 X 4 pressure treated plywood and we used exterior satin paint from Lowes to paint them. We spent an entire weekend painting 3 blocks. It did create some interest in the neighborhood and some even stopped to take photos.
