Think about you, quilting. Pair that image with your wildest, most wouldn’t-it-be-amazing dream. What does your marvel of a quilting experience look like? For astronaut Karen Nyberg, her quilting adventure was a literal out-of-this world event: making a quilt block in orbit, on the International Space Station. Wow! Inspiration doesn’t come on a scale much …

This listing is for a pdf download of 12 (plus one to make 13) full color graphs of Barn Quilts. ***This is not the finished wood barn quilt itself product.*** You would use the graphs as a guide to mark your design (usually with a straight edge and pencil after you prime your wood.) Example: You have a 24" square piece of wood that has been primed.. So say the graph is 8 squares across and down. Each square in this case would represent 3" (to equal 24") . If you want it bigger or smaller...each square could represent 2" or 4"...etc. (It's just like quilting...but with wood.) Colors can also easily be changed. Knowledge of making wood barn quilts is recommended as no painting or other directions are included. These are the PDF color graphs only.

I will try to post some patterns to use for setting 12 inch finished blocks. It is not as simple as I thought it would be, because the images can't just be copied and pasted into the blogger template, but have to be uploaded separately. Plus, I can't figure out how to add in a table that I usually use for yardage and cutting instructions, so I will add that as a list, instead. At the store, we have a booklet available which I wrote some years ago, which contains 21 patterns. Unfortunately I can't just upload all of those at once either, as the computer that 19 of them were stored on crashed a few years ago, so I would have to re-type them all. (And I have no clue which USB stick they were backed up on.) Not to say that I wouldn't do that sometime, but not all at once. This is Setting number 20 from the booklet and has been very popular in previous years. 20. Two Side Sashing a Setting Pattern for 12-Inch Blocks uses 20 blocks finished size is about 74" x 88" a Periwinkle Pattern by Michelle Harris, 2012, free to print out and use for personal use The sampler blocks are 12-1/2" with the seam allowances; they will finish at 12" when sewn into the quilt. There are sashing strips only on 2 sides of the blocks. When laid out to form the pattern, the blocks rotate back and forth. (NB, This is a good pattern for when your sampler blocks have not all come out at the same size! you could cut the sashings wider, and then trim them all to one size before you assemble them into the quilt top, thus absorbing the size differences from block to block) Fabrics: A. Light Grey in the picture , used for Sashing for Blocks 1.1m (44") Cut 2 strips, 15" by the wof,* from these strips, sub-cut 20 rectangles, 3" x 15" Cut 1 strip, 12-1/2" x wof from this strip, and from the leftovers above, sub-cut 20 rectangles, 3" x 12-1/2" B. Inner Border Fabric (finishes at 1-1/2") .5m (18") Cut 8 strips, 2" x wof C. Outer Border Fabric (finishes at 6-1/2") 1.5m (60") Cut 8 strips, 7" x wof D. Binding Fabric .7m (24") Cut 9 strips, 2-1/2" x wof *wof means the width of fabric from selvage to selvage, usually between 42" and 44" Step One: Sew the Sashing rectangles to the sides of each block. If there is any variation in the size of your blocks, now is the time to even them all up! Measure them, and then trim them all to the same size, cutting the extra bits off of the sashing rectangles to keep the points on your sampler block intact. Step Two: Lay out the 20 blocks into a 4 column, 5 row arrangement, referring to the diagram above to see how to rotate the block. You might want to shift the blocks around until you are pleased with the way that the colors balance out. Sew the blocks into rows, and then sew the rows together. Step Three: Add the borders. To make the strips long enough, you will have to join the strips end to end and the cut the border to the size needed. When joining lengths, some people prefer to use a diagonal join . To do that, just overlap the ends of the strips at a 90° angle ,and then sew from corner to corner. Trim off the extra fabric and press. Cut the length of the borders as you go, because the length of them depends on the size of your central unit as it grows larger. Using the narrow, 2" strips for the inner border, cut the two side borders to the same measurement as the height of your center unit. Sew them to the sides and press seams out. Cut the top and bottom borders to the new width of the center unit and sew them on. Repeat this for the outer borders. Step Four: Layer the quilt with the batting and backing, and baste. Quilt! Step Five: Binding. Trim away the extra batting and backing fabric. This uses a double fold binding. Sew the 2-1/2" strips of binding fabric end to end with 45° diagonal seams. Trip away the extra fabric, and then press the strip in half lengthwise, with right side facing out, matching the raw edges. Starting partway along one of the sides, stitch the raw edges of the binding to the top side of the quilt, folding the strip into a false iter at each corner. Turn the folded edge of binding to the back of the quilt and had stitch it into place.

Our barn quilts are printed directly on aluminum for maximum durability, both indoors and out. They last much longer than wooden barn quilts and are easy to install. Light weight and durable. These are a modern version of the traditionally wooden barn quilts. Barn quilts are a fun decorative way to add folk art to your barn, shed, house, or any outdoor building. They are perfect indoors too! Ways to hang: We have found the easiest way to hang our barn quilts is with double- sided Velcro Command Strips. They come in different sizes, won’t ruin siding or pull off paint. No holes drilled, no hooks to hang. You can screw them to a flat surface, 1 screw in each corner after pre-drilling holes. Use mirror hooks that allow you to slide the barn quilt directly into the hooks. This way you won’t screw into the aluminum. We show how to hang with mirror hooks in the pictures above. Use weather stripping in the plastic hook to buffer the barn quilt. Not included. If indoors or under cover, smaller barn quilts may be hung with double sided tape/Velcro. If you have aluminum or vinyl siding, consider special hooks made to use on this type of siding.
