My husband is finishing up our barn and thought it's only a small 2 stall one I'm wanting to paint a barn quilt for it. I was going to paint directly on the wall but making it on a separate piece of plywood makes more sense (why didn't I even think of that?). I can use my husband's chalk line to mark the straight lines and painting it will be so much easier (and safer) since I won't have to be on a ladder. Now the hardest thing about it will be to decide what designs to paint. I love the seasonal idea! Thank you so much for this post. I'm hoping to finish it by the spring and will post a photo. Happy holidays everyone!
