Barn Raising...

The Quilty kind...

 I am so excited! 

Lori Holt from Bee in My Bonnet is hosting a Quilty Barn Along.  

Each barn is made with a 6 1/2 inch quilt square.

She has tutorials for blocks or you can use orphaned quilt squares. 

My Mom called and said that she had a bunch of quilt squares made from 1930's 

reproduction fabric and asked if I would like some to use in the quilt along.  

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Mom put them in the mail and they came on Saturday.

Thank you Mom!
I am so excited to use the blocks that my Mom pieced.  

It will make this fun quilt-a-long so special.  

Lori has put together a great Tutorial and Flickr Group.

I hope to one day have a big Barn quilt like this on the side of our barn.

Until then I will be happily stitching little Quilty Barns!

    I think your barn is going to be wonderful. And how neat that is will be a project you and your mother both had a hand in.

    I can't wait to make my barn, maybe I'll make it today! Yours looks great, isn't it nice you don't have to make the 6 inch blocks?

    I am so tempted to join the barn QAL! They are so cute. It is so neat that you can put your Mom's quilt blocks in your barns.
