I was inspired and motivated to create a barn quilt this summer when our local county fair advertised they were having an exhibit featuring barn quilts. I love to do fun projects like this around our place. But I did not want to put up a newly painted project on an old barn badly in need of a new paint job! So I told my DH that I was going to paint the barn this summer! With his help, (he doesn't like to paint, so he provided me the loaders and hoisted me up to the high points). I finished everything but the white trim on the garage door. That will soon come, but I was just too excited to get my barn quilt up! I will get it finished soon. (Oh yea, I have two more sides of the barn that still need paint. Anyone want to lend a hand?) :D

LOVE your barn and LOVE your quilt!! Great job!!

I love the block you chose!

I love your barn quilt. It looks really nice set up againt that deep red color. Everyone will admire your work. :thumbup:

LOVE it. I want so badly to make one for my house. Don't have a barn

ohhh awesome the block looks great and so does the new paint on the barn

Looks great! I've been wanting to do one to put on my porch (no barn available).

I would help you in a heartbeat if I were in Nebraska; I totally understand husband lifting you in the loader tractor !! LOL always makes me nervous when we have to get the pigeons out of the barn.... Love your enthusiasm !!!
