That is exciting ! I've never been part of a guild or did something that cool. And the barn, that sounds so inspirational to be in the setting and piecing. What fun!

We used the Cherokee rose design, the trail of tears pattern and several others that were designed by the original members of our guild. We meet at the Historical Society's building, a very old restored rock barn, which played a major role in our county. The center of the quilt was designed around this rock barn and was appliqued. The quilt is made in pastel batiks, rose & red(for the poinsettias) with a cream background. It has been shown around the metro area and will auctioned off later to support the new museum. All the fabric was donated and the back has a scene with wild horses in a very muted soft blue. There were over 45 ladies who worked on this quilt. Hopefully, someone in our group will make the winning bid.
