The Quilty Barn Along, Silo Barn

Here's my 6" block, I wanted to keep it plain and simple :)

This is my new barn!  I love it!!!!

I really like the contrast of polka dots and gingham, and the window full of flowers :)

The tutorial for Lori's new barn with the silo can be found here at Bee in my Bonnet.

The Quilty Barn Along #8

I got inspiration for my barn from this one in Quebec.

I love the frosty trees, they bring back memories of freezing winters. 
 I love the orange doors and trim too!

I thought that the soft pastel block would be a pretty contrast against the teal and orange barn.

Here's my barn!  I really love it :)

I like the Denyse Schmidt leaf fabric I used for the roof.

You can find Lori's tutorial for this barn and a great story here.

The Quilty Barn Along #7

I'm really loving these barns!!!

Lori at Bee in my Bonnet sure knows how to inspire me :)

My inspiration for this barn is an incredibly happy orange barn from Quebec, my native home and land :)

The quilt block is an easy pinwheel.

Pinwheels are one of my favorite blocks!

I love this block, It is colorful like the French Canadians!

Whoops!!! I did it again.......notice anything wrong with this block?

There we go, I fixed it!  That wasn't painful at all :)

You can find Lori's tutorial here.

The Quilty Barn Along #6

I'm getting the hang of making Lori's barns :)

I really like the bright colors in this block.

It's really called "sunny sunflower", but I think I'll call mine "starburst".

Both of my parents are from Prince Edward Island.

Some of my great uncles were dairy farmers and I remember how beautiful their barns were....bright red with white trim and round pole picket fences painted white with a red ring around the top.

I googled barns in Prince Edward Island and found this one.

It is located in Kings County, where a lot of my relatives are from.

I think mine is pretty close in color.

Do you notice anything wrong with this block?

I didn't at first because I was talking on the phone while I was sewing it!!!

I hung it up on the wall, sat down and then saw my mistake.....Lol

Voila, thank goodness for seam rippers :)

The Quilty Barn Along #5

This Maple Leaf block was one of my favorites from "The Farmer's Wife" quilt that I made.  Maybe because I'm Canadian and the maple leaf is Canada's national emblem :)  My favorite season was the fall, when all the maple leaves would turn red and orange.

I'm also a huge fan of maple syrup :)

I used a light blue for the background because it looks like the sky.

I looked online for some barn photos, and found these beautiful aqua ones.  I had no ideas that there were any aqua barns out there...

Here's another aqua barn.

With all the snow, I wonder if this barn might be in Quebec.

I wanted to make my own aqua barn.

I used Lori's "Polka Dot Stitches" and stitched one up.  

I'm going to look for some other colors to create my barns.

Any suggestions?

The Quilty Barn Along #4

I really enjoy making these barns, they come together quickly.

The red is Tasha Noel's "Little Red Riding Hood", and the little girl print I used for the door and the window is by the same designer.

I used some of my cherished"Sew Cherry" for the churn dash block.

The background fabric is linen.

I have the quilty barns hanging on my design wall for inspiration.

The Quilty Barn Along #3

I used fabric from my scrap box, the squares are only l l/2".

It's funny when you use fabric scraps, the pile never diminishes....

I've never made a postage stamp block before.

I was really excited to make this block, I've always admired it.

It has a lot of potential for color variety.

I love Tasha Noel's fabrics and was able to use some of it in the barn doorway, window and roof.  They add the perfect touch!

The Quilty Barn Along #2

I made the quilt block with some more of my Sew Cherry fabric.

I finished my second barn, yeah!!!

The barns sew up really quickly, the pieces are large.

It would be a good starter project.

There are so many different shades of red!

I think the barns look great together.

Thanks for following my blog :)

The Quilty Barn Along #1

I have been itching to begin this quilt!

This is the first time I've used my Sew Cherry by Lori Holt.

I love it so much, that I'm afraid or worried to use it :)

Anyone else have that problem with fabric they are in love with?

I finished the quilt block.

Notice anything a little off?

Look closely.....

I don't often do this, but I unpicked the stitches and resewed.

It looks so much prettier!!!

My first barn, yeah!!!

I love it!!!
