I also think its a great idea. I don't have a barn, but I was wondering if my storage shed would work, I'm thinking right above the door.
Are they made of wood and what kind of paint, acrylic ,reg house paint.

They are made of wood, but I don't know the type of paint. Go to Home Depot or Lowe's and they should be able to tell you what kind of paint to use.

When we got to town we found that most of the buildings in downtown Tillamook had barn quilts. I had to explain to everyone what barn quilts were and after that it was a game to see who could find the most.

ROFL, donut barn quilt on the police station. Love it. I've been through Tillamook and never thought to hunt for those. Thanks for the pics. Now I need to go back and do that.

I love the Oregon coast. I like the quilt shop Creative Fabric in Wheeler--a few miles north of Tillamook too. Thanks for posting: your photos are wonderful!
