First attempt at a barn quilt.
 

My husband has wanted a shed and I've always wanted a barn quilt. So we finally came to a compromise.

That is so beautiful, could you send him up to Canada. What is the size of your block? Any special treatment of wood before and after painting

Very pretty swoon block. I love it!

Love it! What did you use for wood?

That is probably the prettiest barn quilt I've seen. And what I can see of the shed is wonderful as well.

Very pretty!

I love it! I have been thinking about one for my pole barn in my yard.... that one would look good on it!! :)

Beautiful barn quilt block and I also love the shed! It's all wonderful!

It's awesome! I always love seeing them when I travel. It gives me a warm feeling about those who live there. I'm happy for you. My daughter made 6 of them for me one Christmas. They are seasonal and I hang one on the front of my garage every two months.

Beautiful both the quilt and barn. !!!

I love the idea of hanging it on the garage!

I am going on a tour of barn quilts in Indiana on Thursday. Maybe your quilt will be on the tour.

Great job on the barn and the quilt!

Love it. I don't have a shed so I put one on my porch. lol Love your shed also.

That's so pretty! Nice work! Good compromise.

WOW Now both of you are happy

I love seeing these barn quilts. I see them when I am driving back to St Louis and love looking at them. Great job!!

Gorgeous. I want a barn quilt, too, but I'm going to use differently. I bought a 30x30 fire pit that looks like a table. For summer I want to put a table top on it, and I thought, "why not a barn quilt"? We'll see how far I get on that idea.

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

We have a cottage in Calhoun County IL and there are many barn quilts here. I haven't put one on our cottage yet as we are still working on the inside, but by next year, I'm hoping we will have a beauty like yours. Lovely quilt block.

I received a barn quilt from my children for Christmas. I put it on my large shed in the peak but too high so when the leaves are on the trees you can't see it clearly. It is a photo of a quilt square put on vinyl and then on stainless steel. It is VERY BEAUTIFUL. When I learn how to put a photo on here I will

All I can say is WOW !!!!

It is beautiful, you did a great job.

My favourite quilt block. I absolutely love the Carpenter's Star & yours is lovely & looks great on the shed.

Love this idea! May give it a try.

I love your barn block! I want one too. I have been planning on doing one just haven't got it done yet. You are my inspiration, I can do this.

What a great compromise. Love your barn quilt, very nice.

nice barn quilt, I have one in my entry on my porch, small but nice

Nice barn quilt.

Very pretty! ......now, if I just had a barn.....! LOL!

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 your "quilt doors"! Makes me want to come in and stay awhile!

Beautiful! Wish I had a shed or barn or porch!!

That is one pretty barn quilt!! Great job!!

Terrific barn quilt! :)

Someone did a great job in the painting process!

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.

Looks great :))
