Looks good from here. I am not a good painter either.

Looks great! Barn quilts are very popular around here. I wanted to have a friend paint one for me and put it on the front of our house.
Changed my mind after remembering other items stolen in that location. Mariah

It looks good from my point of view and if it's a "barn quilt", nobody will see it up close and personal anyway.

Very nice. If you make them in a 12 1/2", sq. I'll take 4 for my garage door. Again very nice.

I think it looks great! I have 2 round ones I have been going to paint for a couple years now. Guess I should get at it! lol I'm not crazy about painting either but I would like to get it done. One is for my son in law but he has probably forgotten about it now. I'm thinking Christmas present for him! lol

You are selling yourself short here. That is a beautiful block (they are not meant to be seen up close). I love it and am considering doing one myself. Haven't investigated the best way to do it so that it won't deteriorate in a few months time. Pats on the back for you! Good job.

It looks good to me! You could put it above your garage door too if you think it looks better from a distance.

Very nice -- My last AQ magazine had directions on how to make a barn quilt. You have inspired me -- I may try to make one too. I like yours - the colors are great. I like your idea of hanging it on the deck!
