Barn Raising!

I've been taking part in Lori Holt's Quilty Barn QAL but I decided that I needed instant gratification so I only went with 4 barns.

Now that my 4 barns are done, I'm thinking I will go with a whole 20 block lap quilt.  I will slowly work on the 6" quilt blocks for each barn and put them together as I feel like it.

I am happy with my barns and hope to pick up something fun for the back when we are in Amish Country, PA next week for a couple of days.

The blocks in my barns are: postage stamp, churn dash, granny square and a pinwheel.

That's all for now.

Enjoy your day!

Quilty Barn Along - Block 1

Lori Holt created a very cute barn block complete with a quilt block tutorial and I just had to make one.  She is making a quilt with 12 blocks.  I think I'm going to stop at 4 blocks for a wall hanging size.  Appropriate for us since we're a farm now; even though we don't have any red barns with a quilt block on it.  It was quick to put together.

Lori's example showed a Weathervane quilt block but I did a Churn Dash block instead.  Less pieces to cut and piece together.  Each of the 4 barns I do will be a different red fabric but the roofs will all be black gingham to have them all coordinate somewhat.  I have my second quilt block done and ready for the next barn.

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!
