Barn Quilts

My latest project is perfect for me. It's cloudy winter. I require bright colors. I love to paint but have no original designs hanging out within my head. Enter the Barn Quilt. A single quilt block, painted on to wood and hung outdoors on a building or indoors.

The first one I completed [all are acrylic paint on 12" X 12" wood] is called many names: Hidden Star, Pigs in a Blanket, or LeMoyne Star, to name a few.

The second one is called Courthouse Steps with the black center representing the judge. 

The third is the most popular quilt block, the Log Cabin. The red center represents the hearth of the home. The pattern is hundreds of years old.

Every day I paint for a few hours. Love it.
