I've got to figure out the pattern on this old drying barn. It's just a bit too small to be able to see the details, but I love the look.
Look closely at this next one. Generally, the pieces of the block are painted in solid colors. On this one the "fabrics" are painted to look like calicoes with little swirls and flowers on them. Now that's dedicated to the vintage look.
And I'll say goodbye with this Dresden plate block. It's on a barn that I could easily live in....check out the windows and that beautiful siding.
Oops, someone was careless on the tractor! I'd be the one to bump the corner of the barn. In fact, when I was young, I was plowing on my dad's old one-row IH, going as fast as it would run (which was not very) and busy with the song in my head, when I got to the end of the row. Thank goodness the post that happened to be in my direct line was strong enough to stop me. I can imagine how well tearing down the entire fence would have gone. Although I never said anything to daddy, I'm sure he knew why the post was loose.
Have a great week and pay attention while driving,
Mary

Wow, I love these barns! I wish more people in Nebraska would get on board with the idea. Alas, I have no barn to paint:( Hi, I am RenaissanceSandi...and I am one of your fellow bloggers for the American Made Brand Solids Blog Tour. Please stop by and follow my blog, if you like.

What is the purpose of putting quilt square on the barn?
Nahdsh, it's decorative. In some areas there are now so many barn quilts that local tourism committee have created quilt trails and maps to draw in more tourists. I got the idea for my barn quilts after going on a tour. I've also pinned many pictures of barn quilts.
