I have not seen a thread of blocks on real barns, so I thought I'd start one. This is off of I-25 in Wyoming, USA

I don't have pics - yet! We are traveling through Ohio back roads and have seen many of them. It is such a treat. Never have the camera ready.

There have been lots of pics of barn quilts on this board.

It would be lovely to have them all on one thread, like the scrappy quilt show thread. Great idea, leonf!

Oregon has a committee to pair the barn quilt paintings with barns and to set up trail maps to find them. I am thinking of making one. I guess I could put it on my garage???🤣

See my avatar, they are fun to make. My sister and I each made one last year. It was a fun project.

I want my son to make me one. We have a large shed that would be a perfect place. I just have to decide what block I want. Maybe instead of just one I should consider 4 together to make the block, like a mini quilt.

I talked my DH into taking a class to make a barn quilt...of course, I picked a difficult pattern. He did a fantastic job and painted on exterior plywood provided by the instructor. After hanging on our garage for a month or so, I noticed that the "quilt" started to delaminate.
I have all of the paint to make another one...I LOVE a a barn quilt...but am concerned what product to use.
We moved the delaminated one to an inside porch (looks great there).
I want one for the peak of the garage and one for our cottage.
Can anyone tell me what type of board to use? Marine Plywood? Someone suggested MDO board but I have no idea what that is...
