Barn Quilts
#17
Thanks everyone for your nice words. They are 18 x 18, we used an exterior grade plywood, painted a base coat, drew on the quilting block and painted with exterior paints. Finished them with a piece of trim around to finish the edges. Would suggest a finish coat of poly (exterior grade ) before hanging them outside. My mom gave me an old calendar that had 352 quilt blocks in it for the year, was an excellent guide for the blocks. Really was a nice size, the girls hung them by their entry doors into their homes.

I'm addicted to Barn Quilts and especially like yours. The size is great.....could use them on a house. Were they very hard to make and what type wood did you use. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. Just read a bit further where you gave good information. Thanks.

Tulip, those are terrific!
Your daughters are lucky girls! Thanks to for explaining how you made them!
Kris - do you know where to look in Leroy? We often drive out that way. Son goes to RIT. BIG quilt show on the campus over Memorial Day weekend I think.
