Do you know if all county extension offices in Kentucky are selling the barn quilt kits or just your county extension office?
I have family that live in Fleming, Fayette, and Lewis County KY.

My hubby did some. not that large for a barn....
ours are 20"x20" and are on a thread that I sent in..
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-31055-1.htm
they turned out really nice and are our home..
He primed the plywood. better grade plywood takes the paint better.......he then drew that pattern and painted. He sprayed them with polyurethane and put a frame around them.
Hope that helps........MaryJane

Here's a website for a ton of block patterns - chose the ones you like and follow the barn quilt instructions for the actual building. The patterns are here:

Hi,
I have spent a couple of years researching barn quilts (you can check my blog @ americanquilttrail.com if interested). At any rate, the Sac County folks are the absolute best resource. If you want someone you can speak to by phone, I can give you emails of a couple of folks who have created quilt trails in their areas who are always willing to assist!
You can email me at [email protected] if I can help you in any way.
