I don't have a barn or outbuilding but the idea of putting one on my fence is appealing. . .yours looks great!

Love your barn quilt. I will show this photo to DH. He is known as the "birdhouse man" in our area. He gives away dozens every year! I love the way yours are stacked up, and I have the perfect post in our garden! I do hope you won't mind if I use your idea.

We are looking forward to surprising my dad with one on his barn this summer in central Illinois. Even my husband looks for them each time we drive north.

This is a great idea! Hummmmm.....I have a metal pole barn, yellow w/chocolate brown slider doors.....I wonder what colors and block pattern would look good?????

Looks wonderful. What a wonderful gift.

reginalovesfabric 04-02-2013 07:27 AM

that's great, I have relatives in Iowa. I wish I had a barn I'd put a chicken quilt, I love chickens.

Dianemarie 04-02-2013 07:57 AM

love it; we just moved from the country and i think i'll put one in the backyard.

IBQUILTIN 04-02-2013 08:19 AM

I want one too. I would like to put it on my Dad's Barn in OK, but he objects. Oh well, someday I will have one.

jdavis 04-02-2013 08:39 AM

What a thoughtful present and I love your bird houses and feeder.

Looks great!

callie 04-02-2013 09:54 AM

How wonderful. You will enjoy it and your wonderful birdhouses for years to come.
I can think of a spot at my house that I think one would look great! Now there's an idea in the making.

KathyKat 04-02-2013 10:17 AM

I want to make one for my house in SW WI.

sewnut 04-02-2013 10:53 AM

It's great! I watched a documentary on barn quilts about a year ago and am fascinated with them. We don't have them in Wyoming; we just have deer and elk antlers everywhere, so I love looking at the pictures of the barn quilts. It's so wonderful you have one.

grannysewer 04-02-2013 10:55 AM

Me, too! I don't have a barn, maybe on the deck!

Loretta 04-02-2013 11:07 AM

I love to go to my son's because they are everywhere up there.

carolynjo 04-02-2013 12:04 PM

They are quite popular in NC and TN. We have been putting them for the last 12-14 years. Even building in small towns have them on their outside walls. I love seeing them.

mjhaess 04-02-2013 01:01 PM

That is so pretty on that barn.....

Lady Jane 04-02-2013 01:10 PM

Sew happy that you got yours up !

Auntie Em 04-02-2013 02:08 PM

What a neat gift!!! and I am glad your weather is getting nice!!!

Iraxy 04-02-2013 02:29 PM

In our travels we have seen many barn quilts. I always get so excited when I see them. My DH doesn't get it. It just makes me smile to know that there is a quilt person somewhere in the neighborhood no matter where I travel. His reaction is "meh."

Yours is just beautiful.

I am from North Central Iowa. My children gave me a barn quilt for Christmas too. Just need to get someone to put it up for me soon.

MNquiltlady 04-02-2013 05:06 PM

Just a quick question Do you need a barn to hang it on -could it be on the side of a machine shed?

sewdamncute 04-02-2013 05:43 PM

Pretty, love those birdhouses too!

heather1949 04-02-2013 06:17 PM

Being from Australia I have never heard of them, but yours is beautiful.

GreatStarter 04-02-2013 06:36 PM

It is wonderful! And so special being your kids MADE it for you! Looks great and love that birdhouse, water/feeder thing in the picture.

Beautiful! Wish I had a barn to put one on!

A1penny 04-04-2013 03:43 AM

Looks wonderful! I wish I could put them up on all the tall buildings here in NYC!

Quilter 65 04-04-2013 07:17 AM

I always like to see the pretty barn quilts in Iowa. Yours is lovely and I am glad you can enjoy it put up now.
