    Do the neighbors pay your bills? There's surely one sore head in the town, but don't worry about him. Besides, teh barn quilt will come in handy telling people where the neighbors live.-------------4 houses past the barn quilt!

Please post pix.
    the actual application makes no difference, if it's a quilt block displayed outdoors it's a BARN QUILT!

    Hang that quilt block. You'll love it. I can't wait to get mine up the last week in June.

    A lady who read my novel, "Grow Old With Me," painted a quilt block for our house! It's a small 2x2. It arrived last week. I'm using it for a speaking engagement, and then I'll display it on the side of our home.

    I love barn quilts! My husband recently made me some to hang on the wall in my sewing room. They weren't painted bright colors. He used a wood dye/stain so the grain would show through.

    Do let us know what design you pick, and of course a picture when it is finished!
