I've decided to paint directly onto my hubby's metal barn

So cool and pretty! I didn't even know people made these until I went on vacation to Grandfather Mountain with my family last week and I saw no less than 50 of these all over the place. I wish I had started counting from the first one I saw but I had no idea how many there would be.

If you google "quilt trail" and the area you were in you can probably find a listing of them

It looks awesome.

You can buy metal ones online. I just looked at a site yesterday, but now can't find it among my favorites. I've seen them at a quilt shows and they seem very well made and able to withstand weather. They come in several colors and different quilt blocks. I want one for the front of my house. I think they are fairly well priced.
You might do a Google search on: Metal barn quilts. and see if the site pops up.
