Patriotic Flag Barn Quilt & Others...For Sale!!

In May, I started painting Barn Quilts.
I shared a couple quilts I made for my garden shed on this post.

These 2' by 2' Barn Quilts are perfect to hang over a garage door, on a porch, on a shed or front door, or they could also be hung on an inside wall!
Many of us aren't fortunate enough to have a 'real' barn on our property to display the large 8' by 8' size Barn Quilts.
This is a way to display some country accent on our homes!
I'm selling these quilts in my booth at Georgia North Antique Mall (in Adairsville, GA) and also in my Etsy Shop & Ebay Store, Ties2ThePast.
The cost is $85 plus shipping.
I design my quilts on wood that has been painted 3 times with primer on all sides and edges.
After that, I paint the pattern with 3 to 4 coats of Behr Premium Plus Ultra (paint & primer in one) Exterior paint.
To protect the Barn Quilt from weather, I use 3 coats of a clear UV resistant sealer.
I will also paint these quilts in other colors & will have more patterns available soon.
Custom orders will take 10 days to 2 weeks to complete...all that painting takes time to dry!!
'Google' Barn Quilts for more information & to see some beautiful quilts on barns throughout the USA.
The history is fascinating & you might find a Barn Quilt Trail near you!
