I agree with you...just be creative with it.

That is really beautiful, love how colorful it is.Is there a book how to do this. We do have a farm,actually my brother but he calls it "family" In my own way I'd like to feel that way. Guess I'd like to know if you paint it on canvas and then mount it like a picture and how do you protect it from the elements...like Mi Guess I should have read more of the post,thnx again :)))

Ooooooh! Love your bright colors and pattern. I've gotten lots of comments on my barn quilt since it went up about a month ago. Great job!

I did mine on a 4' square of plywood, used lots of painters tape, and several coats of exterior polyurethane.

We just hung six (6) on the west side of our barn. They look GREAT. I painted a Virginia Star, Log Cabin, Alabama Star, This and That, Nine Patch Reunion, Applique Daisy.
