I'm back working on the pink barn. I created the row of lights above the door.
Then I made the doors and the sides and put them together. Many barns in New England have doors constructed with angled strips of wood, so I wanted to find a decorative fabric that would give me that feeling. The fabric I picked for these doors is a jeweled stripe, and I cut the doors on the bias. The jewels pick up the colors of the barn as well as the blue I've used as highlights.
Here I have trimmed the sides and added the blue trim on the corners of the barn. My inspiration barn lives in the woods, so I put some green fabric to one side to see what it looks like.
Here's my inspiration barn. As you can see, I've taken a lot of liberties.
PS: Happy Birthday to my barn-building quilting buddy, Julie Sefton.

I love both barns- the inspiration and the pink one, don't make me choose!
Yes, both barns are delightful. I like all the details you've added to yours and the care you've taken to choose your fabrics.
