Quilters love their quilts…so much so that they will show them off anyway they can! They look great over a couch or the foot of a bed….on a wall and even to decorate the outside of your home. I’m not talking about hanging a fabric quilt outside…I’m talking about a barn quilt! A ba
rn quilt is basically a large piece of wood that is painted to look like a large quilt block. We have a long history in our country of hanging barn quilts outside our homes and barns. They were thought to bring good luck and prosperity. Some 200 years ago when there wasn’t enough paint to paint an entire barn women would take a pattern of a quilt block that grandma had made and would paint barn quilt to hang on their barns. It was a way to decorate their farms and also was a source of family pride. Once paint was readily available and people began painting their entire barns, quilt block kind of disappeared. In 2000 a woman in Ohio wanted to increase tourism in her state and started a barn quilt tour…much like our local Parade of Homes. People would tour the farms in the state and view the barn quilts painted to represent the families who owned them. Last summer our family toured the east coast and mid-west and I fell in love with these barn quilts. So much so that I had to come home and make one…and I haven’t stopped! They are super easy to make and are pretty addicting. I find myself looking for new patterns to paint and ways to use them all. The first thing you need to find is a surface to paint on. Some people paint of solid wood, but I love making my own boards because they look more like the wall of a barn. So, here are the instructions for making a barn board.

The next stop on our Deco Pattern release train is my Baby Deco quilt! In case you missed it, the Deco Quilt pattern is now available! If you haven’t already read my initial blog post about the two-color Deco quilt that I made, be sure to check that out here. You’ll find my inspiration, pattern sizes fabric requirements and other details about Deco. Converting my original Deco design into a baby quilt took a lot of trial and error. I knew that I didn’t want to scale down the blocks, so I played around with different layouts of the same size blocks that are used in the Throw. Initially, the baby quilt looked more similar to the Throw, in that there were blocks on the top and bottom of the quilt as well. But then I accidentally landed on a really neat, sort of minimal layout that features a lot of negative space. At first glance, this design kind of mimics the look of lace. I get serious wedding dress vibes from the daintiness of the dots mixed with the solid blocks in the foreground. I love it so much that I contemplated making the throw size mirror this look, but in the end, I decided to leave it like this. Maybe one day I’ll convert this specific layout to other sizes! . . Since my other Deco quilts were more bold and moody, I wanted this one to be different. One of my favorite fabric combinations of all time is Kona Snow and Doeskin. You might recall that Peter’s Interwoven quilt uses these two colors and so does my Vintage Lace quilt that I made for myself. I absolutely love how soft and subtle both of these quilts are, so I wanted to create a Deco quilt using this fabric combination as well! The only difference is that I might a slight fabric substitution for what I had on hand. Instead of Snow, I used White, is it’s a little more bright and crisp. Here’s what I used for this quilt: Color: Kona White – 1 yard Background: Kona Doeskin – 2 yards Binding: Kona Leather – 1/2 yard Backing: AGF Happily Ever After – 3 yards (or less if you have multiple seams in your backing) We have quilt kits for this entire quilt (quilt top, backing and binding) in our shop!. I decided to machine quilt this quilt myself. Anytime I know that I’ll have a quick finish, or a relatively smaller quilt, I like to go ahead and do the quilting myself (versus sending it off to a long-armer). I sometimes get asked what my preferences are with basting and hands down, I like to pin baste over spray! Personally, I seem to get puckers on the backing whenever I spray baste, but I know people who will say the same thing about pins. I also really love that pins are more sustainable. Make one purchase and you’re set for life. With the spray, you have to keep buying it…and I don’t like using aerosolized chemicals if I don’t have to! You can find my pin basting tutorial here. . . Once my quilt sandwich was basted, I used my Janome Continental M7 for the straight line quilting. I loved the texture of the quilting on my Kismet Nightingale Quilt, so I wanted to recreate that. I also did something similar for my cover Celtic Crossing 2.0 quilt. Essentially, I quilted Horizontal lines that were ~2.75
