Your a jump ahead of those who like to go outside to quilt; you have your blocks out there permanently. Love, love, love that carpenter's star on the building. Just the perfect place and colors for it. Notice your in Brockville - do they come in in the winter?

I bring the little ones in ,the Car.Star stays out. My husband cut and assembled 1/2 sq. tri.s to my direction and I stained. Didn't varathane so I could restain as they fade

I just made patterns with squares and 1/2 TRI. Sqs. so they would be easy to cut, arranged them and glued and nailed[from behind] to plywood back Added sashing on outside edge

That is fantastic

Love them. SoozieQ is yours made of blocks of wood stained? What type of wood did you use? I have been wanting to make one. I really like the way yours looks.

We used pine 2 X 4's and stained no varathane so I can restain as they fade with a craft brush

I'm another one that doesn't have a barn. Can you share your painting method? What type of paint, is there a poly layer over the painted parts? All your blocks are beautiful. I'd like to make one...maybe the carpenter bees and woodpeckers would leave it alone.

Great. What kind of paint or finish do you use? Thanks

They are so nice placed around.

Those are great. I have a barn shaped storage building and privacy fencing. More things added to my bucket list, lol!

I don't have a barn quilt but I do sure like seeing them all across the country as we travel...
