Wow! You did a great job (and nice shed too!). OK--makes me want to get going on mine--only need the paint--even have the primer--but just stalled out last Fall!

Love it. We did something similar, only I painted the doors of the shed. Yours is beautiful, a great compromise with DH.

That's like the one I painted and hung on front of my building that my quilting machines are in. It's on my avatar picture. Mine is red white and blue.

I have a real barn! I have been talking about a barn quilt all winter. I have it figured out to get 4 pieces of plywood, all squares and then do 1/4 of the pattern on each. I love yours but you put a lot of time into it. I'm not sure I could do that. You have me thinking! Thank you for sharing!

The quilters in Franklin County, KS have organized and started barn quilt tour. So we had the organizer present at a Guild meeting(we are the neighboring county) to talk about it. She suggest if doing a large one to do in sections like you plan. And to be sure to use 2x4 to build a support frame to hold the plywood flat & straight on the barn. One thing she also said which surprised me was to not put a sealer over the paint cause it creates problem when you go to re-paint. You can Google their website--pretty neat.
