HOW TO MAKE A BARN QUILT

Barn quilts started out as a way to decorate ordinary barns in the countryside.

MATERIALS:

– square piece of thick plywood – wood for framing – Barn Quilt Pattern – Pencil – Hammer & Nails or Battery Powered Brad Nail Gun – Miter Saw – Primer – 2-3 Shades Of Paint – Wood Putty (optional) – Sealer – Safety Glasses and any other necessary safety equipment

HOW TO MAKE A BARN QUILT

PART 1 - PAINTING THE BARN QUILT

I sprayed a quick coat of primer over the front side of the plywood and then rolled on my base color of paint.

Measure your wood to get the exact dimensions for your quilt design

You will have 9 equal sized squares, which is the basis for any good quilt-like pattern.

This will create the lines for the little triangle pieces of the quilt.

I started with my outer squares, and then progressed to my outer triangles.

Tape off the areas you want to paint.

PART 2 - BUILDING THE BACKING FOR THE BARN QUILT

Using the 8' length of ¾" x 1-½", build a 23" square frame to go on the back of the barn quilt.

Nail your quilt frame together
