Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month creative journey along America’s backcountry roads as we bring you "The Patchwork Barn Quilt," a fabulous quilt designed especially for TQS by Edyta Sitar. A spectacular medallion quilt featuring a barn nestled amongst rows of ‘crops’ (blocks). Edyta’s design inspiration was the result of observing the painted quilt blocks on the side of barns as she traveled across the country.
Known for her love of colorfully elegant scrap quilts, Edyta has this time, used her magic touch by combining a wide variety of blue and cream fabrics set against a creamy background. The resulting design is a stunning, but quieter scrap quilt that is sure to be a family favorite for generations to come. Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns.
Barn block is done. Since I got the kit, I used the pre-fused shapes. Forgot to starch the fabric ahead of time, but sprayed the back and pressed and that worked fine. I machine appliquéd with a buttonhole stitch and matching thread I also got with the kit. I used a #720 stitch on my Bernina 630, reversed.

Mira,
Your blocks look great.
I especially like the way you handled the striped fabrics. That can be tricky. I sometimes end up with unpleasant surprises when piecing striped fabrics into blocks with lots of small pieces.

All the blocks look great, I love seeing the different colour ways. I have managed to keep up and have finished the last nine blocks. As I naturally prefer applique - I am sending a massive THANK YOU to Barbara Black for all the help she has provided, especially through her blog.
