What Are Barn Quilts?
Barn quilts are generally a single quilt block painted on wood. The size of the square vary, but typically measure 8 feet. After they are painted, the blocks are hung on the exterior of a barn, house, garage, or other building.
Barn quilts are generally a single quilt block painted on wood. The size of the square vary, but typically measure 8 feet. After they are painted, the blocks are hung on the exterior of a barn, house, garage, or other building.
The majority of barn quilts are comprised of simple geometric shapes, like squares, rectangles, and triangles. They usually are painted in solid colors, though every now and then, you’ll come across one that has been painted to look like fabric.
The simplicity in shape and the vibrancy of solid colors make these blocks easily seen from afar.
