If I had a Barn... an Imaginary Barn ...

                      ...It would look like this!
Here's a few photos of the quilting.
The circles are tiny --- Like the size of a pencil eraser.


The Morning Glories on the windmill are really tiny too --- smaller than an eraser on a pencil.  And keep in mind that I take close up photos  -- the stitches are really tiny too!
I love thread painting on raw edge applique'. It's like coloring!


 The wavy lines on the black fabric are about a 1/4 of an inch apart.  On the red fabric about 3/8 of an inch apart.


 Signed it with my name --- Marcia 2012.
Also stitched  If I had a Barn...
 Of course this is the back of my quilt.  You can see all the stitching and the thread colors.



 The Bloom Quilt on my imaginary barn measures 1 3/4 inches by 2 inches.

My finished quilt measures 14" by 24".

I named it   "If I had a Barn Quilt".
My husband said the nicest thing to me tonight as he looked at my finished quilt :  "I wish I could build it for you!"  What a wonderful thought!
Enjoy your weekend!
Marcia

    GREAT job on this piece.
    If I may ask, who makes those large thread spools?

    The piece looks great Marcia..a big job with that many threads...would make me crazy stopping and changing threads so much. But you did a wonderful job.
