Barn quilt pattern
Are there certain ones? My son and I are going to make a ceramic one, he's a potter. I get to pick the pattern, but I got nothin' to bring to the party. Tried a forum search but it was too big a return. I need your advice!

I would ask him how many colours of glaze he wanted to work with before getting a pattern. 2 colours something like Hunter’s Star, more then 2 colours the patterns are endless but you might want to keep it simple shapes.

barn quilts search gets you a ton of pictures. carpenters star, lone star and many more. probably keep it simple. what ever you pick will look great.

it becomes a "barn quilt" because you put it on a barn, not because of the pattern. So any pattern can be used.
Most often the pattern is selected because it has meaning to the property owner or the area the property is located in. I have a shed I want to put one on, but also have not decided what block I want to go with. |

I got my barn quilt this summer!! I grew up with 3 brothers and 3 sisters so I picked the Seven Sisters pattern
Part of me wishes it was a little bigger :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]605219[/ATTACH] |

He has a bunch of stamps he's made to use on pots, so I'm going to use some of them to make "patterned fabric" blocks. He has a number of different kinds of clay that are different colors, so we can use those for variety, too. My only concern is that when we start rolling out the clay to make the slabs, he's going to want to use my rolling pins. the ones for baking. Yeah, no, not gonna happen. |

I'm with you not letting him use your rolling pins. I would get him some new ones.
