What a nice quilt. I love the barn quilts. I think you represented Iowa very well. Thanks from a fellow Iowan.

Your welcome, M. These barns are fast fading from our landscape just as your Rickleif's house is. Between DS's and our place we still have old barns, but have new ones too. More functionality for our farm today, but not the same character.

CotUninverse--liberated quilting is a free style approach to piecing. Think "Gee's Bend" quilts. Gwen Marston is a pioneer in it applying it to modern day quilting. Accurate cutting and sewing are not the norm!

I love what you created. Have not heard of this style before but it sure it appealing. Will have to look it up.
