    Those are really eye catching and lovely. Did it take long to design and paint them?

    Barns needing quilts. Who would have thought it! :D
    I like them all... but I think my fav has to be the yellow/red one.

    I am now building these Barn Quilts to sale. You can hang them on a barn, garage, storage shed, or even in your house. Sizes are 2'x2', and 4'x4'. I can do 8'x8' for custom orders. They are hand painted on exterior plywood. They each have a coat of primer, three coats of exterior house paint, and two coats of clear polyurethane protective finish on them.

    I'm even more impressed now. I hope you manage to sell all your barn quilts and be kept busy producing many, many more.

    Thank You Eileen! We actually have quilt barn trails here. When you purchase a barn quilt it can be registered, and put on a map. People can then bring up a map for thier local area and spend the day driving the rural backcountry roads looking at all the different barn quilts. I can't think of a better way to spend the day then rideing around the backroads with my wife and camera! We have thousands of tobacco barns, and hay barns around here in Tennessee, and I hope to put a piece of my art work on as many of them as I can! :)

    Sounds like a great vacation to me. If I ever get there I will be on the lookout for your quilts.
