Barn Quilts
 

My DH and I were not sure what to make our girls for Easter. They all decorate in a country theme so we decided to make these.

Those are so cool. The y will love them.

Awesome!!!

How do I get on your gift list? I love them. I don't have a barn but I think one would look good on the side of my house:)

They are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

So fun to see these on the sides of barns as we travel.

They are very nice. I am sure they will appreciate all your hard work

nicely done

what awesome barn quilts, can I be one of your girls, just kidding. need to get mine started.

Very nice! I know they will love them.

Oh Tulip..........your barn quilts have turned out fabulous!! :D I know your girls must have loved them more than anything. Very nice work on them!!
:D :D :D :D

Love your barn quilts!
Where are you located in western NY? I am hoping to get to Leroy this summer to see the barn quilts in that area. Have you checked them out?

Those are very nice.

Love those barn quilts. What size are they and what type of board did you paint them on? Also what type of paint did you use? Thanks in advance for any answers.

Oh so pretty--this size would look great on a garden fence!

Very nice.

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.

Very nice!

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.

Very nice!!!!

great choice!!!!!

I've seen the barn directions on the internet, so one of these days I will make it up there. Don't know the exact quilt show dates, but several of our guild members are going. We are about three hours away.

Thank you for your idea - maybe I will make one as a gift for my son and his American wife. She is from Missouri, so a Missouri Star would be appropriate.

Great ideal..... Love them.:rolleyes:

they would even look great on your stairway wall! adopt me tooooooooooooooo.

LOL- Yes, we'd all like to be your daughters! Tulip they do go really well with your carpet!

Thanks Kris - it never occured to me that the trail would be posted on the internet. What isn't theses days? Sure enough, they even have a web site for it: http://www.leroybarnquilt.org/

So I looked up the quilt show too, since I could not remember the dates. It is the biggest show in western NY put on by the Genesee Valley Quilt Club and held in RIT's Gordon Field House. They'll have more than 600 quilts this year and it runs from May 31 - June 2. Clearly my son is in for a draggin along with his mom. ;)
Hope your guild members have a ball!

very nice!!

They are awesome!!!

and what did Goldilocks say "just right" perfect!

They are so cool. I want one or two or three!:D
peace

Very nice, good idea. They will surelyl go with their country decorating.

I just love those. Great job.

Very cool, terrific job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day
