    Just recently joined this site from Iowa...mainly because I would like to have information on how to construct a quilt block to display on a barn or shed. I'm looking for step by step instructions. Anyone out there that can help me? I would appreciate any & all information.

    Welcome!
    I am by no means, an expert... but my thought would be to paint it on plywood and then mount it on the barn. I am sure there are experienced people who can guide you better than I.

    We have beeen travelling extensively in the US and Canada and many++++++barns have quilt blocks on them and the majority that I have seen have been painted right on the barn. I did see one that appeared to be on wood and then mounted on the barn.
