We know a number of friends who quilt. But we'd never heard of or seen a barn quilt. Rose McCauley of Kentucky sent us these photos of her own barn quilt for our Country Life Captions feature. . . .
Note from Rose:
"I live on a cattle farm in KY which isn't very far west, but I still thought you might enjoy this pic of our barn quilt. They’re becoming quite popular around here."
"This barn quilt was given to us by our three children and their spouses for Christmas, 2008. They chose a red, white and blue pattern because their dad is a veteran. I always plant red, white and blue flowers in front of our house in the summer and fly an American flag."

curious as to the size and materials for the barn quilt.
also, congrats on the book contract. looking forward to the read.
Hi "For His Glory", thanks for the congrats! Or barn quilt is constructed of 2 plywood panels, each 4 feet by 8 feet to make an eight foot square. Then you decide the pattern and pencil it in then paint the various colors, leaving time to dry in between, and top it all with a clear coat of sealer. My hubby also backed it with 4 treated boards to hold it together. The hardest part was hanging it. Our daughter got a guy with an electric company bucket truck to help mount it!
Yep, they're all over around here!! I think they're pretty neat!
