You don't need a barn. How about one on a shed or on a fence? Check out www.crocuslane.blogspot.com for more.

If you decide to make one, be sure you don't use wood. It just doesn't hold up. Our barn quilt committee is using a special aluminum that will hold paint. The middle school painted a wooden one last fall and hung it; already disintegrating. It's a shame because it was beautifully painted.

I guess I have led a very sheltered life...never heard of barn quilts, but what a great thing! I love old houses, barns, sheds...whatever looks like it should have a story lurking inside its timbers. I guess that is why I love quilts....every pattern should have a story.

No, I'm sorry, I don't know. I know they order it from a place in Chicago. I'll try to find out for you though. They also order a special paint to last.
