I had a photo of the barn quilt being hoisted into place, however, the camera had malfunction and the shot was never recorded. The next photo shows the barn quilt in position with Darlene posing under it.
Barn Quilts, which started in 2001, are quilt block patterns painted on sides of barns or painted on plywood boards and attached to barns. Barn Quilts can be found in approximately 21 states. I make smaller versions that I call 'House Quilts' that will be attached to houses rather than barns. If you are interested in having one made for you, go to my website at www.barnquiltsbydave.com

The 4x4 Mariner's Compass, Update
In a previous blog I wrote about the 4x4 Mariner's Compass, with a nautical theme, that I made for my sister in law Darlene. The barn quilt was finally delivered and hung on their home. The location was above the front door. Due to the height that the barn quilt would be hanging, my brother in law devised a block and tackle set up to hoist the barn quilt in position, which gave him added leverage to be able to secure the barn quilt to the house.

As I was leaving, I happened to look back at the barn quilt and was amazed at how it look. So, I just had to take another photo!!!
