Barn Quilt Wall Art - Mosaic Rose

I’ve painted for years, and I’ve made quilts for years… so why not combine my passions and make barn quilts? I began making these to work up to making some large pieces for our barn and the front porch. Choosing designs and color combinations are addictive! The possibilities are endless!

All of this first collection is aged with a country, folk art, primitive home in mind. Maybe you’d like to start a barn quilt collection on a gallery wall in your farmhouse or cabin? Wouldn’t these look awesome in the increasingly popular barndominiums?!

It takes quite a few steps in making these barn quilts. Cut the boards and frame strips, sand everything. Draft the pattern, tape off, paint, tape off again, paint, over and over till all colors are painted. Sand again, age / stain, sand again if needed, stain again if needed. Apply the frame, touch up any cut edges that need stain. Apply hanger, label the back. Finished! Oh, wait… now to set up and photograph for the website!

I’ve titled, signed, and dated on the back. The names are based on researching Barbara Brackman’s extensive Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns book. When nothing is an exact match, I choose the closest thing to it.

A sawtooth hanger is attached for hanging.
