    Here is another 8'X8' Barn Quilt I painted for this lady. It will be hanging on her barn in Adams TN.

    Barn quilts are a new concept to me GDC. What a great idea though. Wonderful way to spruce up a barn.
    Your latest creation is something to be proud of.

    Gorgeous, will you take a photo of it mounted to the barn?
    I have been planning on something similar but on a much smaller scale for the side of our house over this winter.

    Wow that is really beautiful. I wish I had a talent like yours. Your quilt is going to look so good when it's hung in the barn. :-D

    Thanks for all the nice comments, patches, and seeds. Toni I will post of photo of it after she gets it mounted on her barn. I have other photos of some of the ones I have painted previously that range in size from 2'x2', 4'x4', and 8'x8' if you would like to see some examples just let me know :)

    Of course it wouldn't be as beautiful as yours, GDC, but I have a vision of a barn quilt between the ladies' coop and the big rainwater cube.
    Would you tell me what kind of paint you use? Is it just normal outdoor house paint or something more special? I don't want to go to all that effort and have it peel off the plywood!
