So happy you get to brighten the world with a barn quilt. I love seeing them. My husband built a custom cabinet shop on our property and just got the siding on the outside of it. There is the perfect spot for a barn quilt on the end facing the driveway. He agrees a barn quilt would be a nice touch for that space. I thought we'd do a Carpenter's Wheel since it's a cabinet shop. Notice my avitar...we have a variation of a Carpenter's Wheel on our bed. Got a theme going here!

This is so cool and it shows us we don't need a barn or a big space at all to enjoy having our own little barn quilt! Congratulations and lucky you J!

Oh what fun. I'll be in WNY Cattaragus Co. in Aug, will your barn quilt be done by then? I'd love to see it.

On the drive from my house to Lexington,( Ky.) I pass tons. I usually take a photo, even though I have already taken many of each one.

Im going to put one up on my fence someday.

I'm a country gal who now lives in the city! I absolutely love the barn quilts! Wish I could do one on my apartment building......now that would be funny! DO post a photo when your barn quilt is finished.
That is a great present from you DH!

Cpmgrats! I see them all over the place here. Our elementary and high school has one in their yard. Love it and your Dh did good.

Hey A1penny: why not do a small one and hang it on your apartment door?

I saw some barn quilts in an Iowa shop made of black metal-pattern was cut out to let whatever is behind show.
2 different sizes for sale. They should have a long lifetime, & would really show on a light colored building.
I didn't buy one, but think they are so nice even though no bright colors on it.

I think it's a version of Ohio Star (shame on me for not remembering the name). There will be a star within a star, and the center of the small star will be a square on-point. It's going on a 22x22' Garage-type building, which is used as a wood shop. We have an overhead door on the right half of the front, and the left half is a blank canvas, except we planted a lilac on the left corner. Before I started quilting, I envisioned painting a sunflower seed packet there, but my DH hates sunflowers, and didn't want me to paint directly on the building (I never thought about putting it on a piece of wood).
