Hummmm.......

These little ditties are popping up all over the county......This is just three of "Barn Quilt Squares" that i pass in my travels.......

Some are painted by the high
school art classes with $$ from a grant.....Some people have designed and painted for themselves......


I want one!!......

Do i need a barn??!!......don't have a barn......could this be a problem??

Could i attach it to the side of the house??....would it then be a "House Quilt Square"????

The powers in Washington DC think they have problems......this is a major decision......maybe i need an advisory committee.......!!

  1. I think those are really pretty. I don't see why they would not look pretty on the side of a house. Helen

  5. The Pennsylvania Dutch always had barn hexes on their barns, they are beautiful to look at.

  6. I think they are so pretty. Much better than the graffitti that's around. Maybe the graffitti artists could paint those instead, what do you think. Do you have a shed or a workshop....I think they'd be perfect there. Hmmmmm maybe I can do that on hubby's workshop. Wonder if he'd go for it.

  7. First you have to form a committee, then study it for a few years and by the time you reach a decision there will be something else that is fashionable. Plus you have to look for funding for the paint. LOL

  10. Hi,

    I am writing a book about quilt barns and quilt squares--over 200 of them to date!! I ran across your blog today.

    There are lots of them all over the place mounted on posts, on garages, sheds. houses, public buidings--any place that you can
    imagine!

    I knkow that you were kidding about the advisory committee--just wanted to weigh in with a word of encouragement.

    I hope you will paint and install one for yourself; they bring a lot of joy to so many people.

  13. No, you don't need a barn. I have a small (5' x 12') tool shed that I am going to paint a quilt block on. Haven't decided which block yet. That's the bigger issue.... which block!!! Just find a big empty wall outside. Nobody said it had to be YOUR wall. Just so you can enjoy it from YOUR porch!
