So many of you are making such nice comments about the yard! Thank you! My DH will be overjoyed!

Is you quilt painted on wood or steel?
Believe it or not, ours is painted on cabinet grade birch plywood (expensive!!). DH said he had to buy it for another project anyway. The gentleman who painted it said it needn't be such fine material. He said it could even be done on Luan. Another quilter here suggested painting on sheet metal.

I like it very much. Did you make it or pick it out?
Not sure what you mean....I drew up the block on graph paper, selected the paints from what was available, and our friend painted it!

It's on plywood (see previous post). Our friend has done several, using Rustoleum or Ex-o-Rust (?).
From his experience, it should be good for maybe 3 years before needing touching up. I wish it would last longer, but that's ok, I like to paint. It is glossy paint. Glossy shows flaws more than flat, but I think it is more weather resistant than flat paint.

Lovely and I also am a fan of how you framed it in the arbor, but I am also a fan of your travel trailer we have a similiar one
