If you know what county the barn quilt was in then you could look up ______ county, ky cooperative extension office. Most county extension agencies have a website with the barn quilt owners name and the name of the block.

I'm glad I decided to read all the way through this topic before I posted. That was my thought also! Also there would be less matching of seams when sewing together.

Quiltastic, I don't know the block name, but wanted to tell you I love the quilt in your avitar. I was just in Ann Arbor last Wednesday at the quilt store. Is the barn in the Ann Arbor area?

Ok, here is a reference to the quilt block. It is called Crossroads. If you would like to read about it you can do so here:

I learn so much through these conversations! Now I know the name, I know where it is located on a barn. Now would someone please help ME figure out how to make one? Simple measurements and directions will do. Thank you in advance.

Go back to page 1 of this thread and look for MTS' post. She has graciously provided a detailed grid for us. Several others have offered to do the math for us.

LOVE your avatar quilt!

It's done (in 3 sizes). I just haven't had a chance to write it up in a coherent (to anyone else) post yet.
Hopefully by this afternoon.

Thank you... just another evidence of the generosity of the members of this board! Every day I'm amazed all over again at how much collective knowledge there is here, and at the willingness of everyone to share. Thank you, all.

Go to quiltpro.com they are sending one block pattern a day for 365 days. You can download all of this year. I'm saving all the block just to have a name for each pattern.
