Welcome. Lets see some of your garden junk! What's barn quilts?

Yes, what are they? Welcome aboard! Jan

Welcome. We want photos, please. I'm curious.

When I read the title, I thought about a friend
who painted her garage door with a quilt design.
The design complimented the flower bed/garden
area beside the door.

Barn Quilts are quilt blocks painted and hung on barns or sheds or else painted directly on the barn. They are all over in Iowa and southern Wisconsin. My quilts are 4'x 4'. Next one will be 8'x 8'. I'll try to post some pictures of my garden junk.

WOW - those are amazing!!! Can't wait to see what else you have done!!

Love those barn quilts!!! and welcome aboard, I haven't posted much lately but I check in frequently.

Okay, That's great! I am going to need a pattern

Love barn quilts! Those are so pretty! & your fence & GJ looks good, too! What's welded in that old iron wheel on the left side of your pic? Horseshoes? Whatever, lookin' good! Welcome to GJing! Jeanne S.

LOVELY barn quilts!! I have long admired them and always planned to do some. You know how that is! Welcome to the junk yard. Remember to share your projects- we love pictures. Jlily

Welcome to the junkyard! Always glad when people come out of lurking....LOVE the barn quilts! VERY cool! And love your collection of items beside your barn as well.

Thanks for the welcome! Jeanne, that welded thing is an wheel rim and rings that my husband cut from a pipe, then welded together.I think there is some kind of gear in the middle. He doesn't think he is talented but I disagree!

Beautiful barn decoration, I like the wooden fence with all the rusty stuff & the wheel thing looks very interesting!! The quilts have so much depth to them, very neat! Jan

We made one where I used to volunteer (developmentally disabled organization.) I don't know what ever happened to it, and when I suggested it the staff looked at me funny. But when we started working on it they realized that it was made of wood, not fabric! LOL! Hope they put it on a barn somewhere, though. They have an equine program staffed with lots of horse people, surely someone would want it for their barn.

Thanks indigo...yes, your hubby is talented, too...I agree! Lookin' forward to seeing more...just saw the corncrib! It's wonderful! Jeanne S.

I would love to see you make smaller blocks and then hang them together like a quilt!
