If I Had A Barn...

                         ...I'd put my "First Bloom Quilt" on the front of my barn.

So, I made a little tiny "First Bloom Quilt" to put on my imaginary barn.  I imagined I would have a large barn.  So large, that it wouldn't even fit on my quilt.  It would be huge!  I would fill it with quilts, fabric, and sewing machines.  People would come to sew and create quilts everyday in my imaginary barn with my imaginary barn quilt on it.

After I finished my quilt top, I pinned it onto my "First Bloom Quilt". It's ready to be quilted tomorrow.

I am sharing all the photos of how I created my quilt top. First, I want to say the items on my quilt are not size perspective and they are not meant to be.  Remember, I imagined this quilt.  In my imagination, some of the things are larger than others.  For example, the windmill is larger, so it would stand out, with the morning glory flowers growing on it.  
It's morning in my quilt. Can you hear the rooster?  I was born in the year of the Rooster, so I wanted to include a rooster.  I added the daisies, because we have them along our driveway. 
I found this cool red barn fabric and grass fabric in my stash. All the fabric for this quilt was from my stash.

Needed a curvy seam again!

 

Check out the Sharpie Markers on Amazon.com

Everywhere that I drew with the sharpie markers, I will quilt - thread paint with my quilting machine, tomorrow.

If I had barn . . .   I'd have my "First Bloom Quilt" proudly displayed on the front of the barn.  I imagine, I would spend a lot of time in my barn, sewing and quilting!  That's the kind of barn, I would have...

Thanks again, Kim from Project Quilting for inspiring me to imagine and create...

This week, we were to be inspired by Barn Quilts.

I can't wait until tomorrow to quilt and thread paint on my quilt.  I love using my imagination to create quilts.

Don't forget to take time to play --- Minutes for Me!
