I love it!

I've really been considering putting an 8'X 8' Indiana Puzzle block in the front. Don't have a DH so I'd have to hire someone to attach it to the cinder block building. Hmmm....

I love lots of color; so it would probably be a Dresden Plate or a Grandmother's Flower Garden.
My county began a barn quilt committee last August. They operate through the local Extension Service. At this date, there are 53 quilt blocks hung and another 10 contracts signed. I have enjoyed them so much! My husband and I travel around the state taking pictures of them which I post on my Facebook page. We love them.
