Barn Quilt
Hi Guys,
I had some left over pine off cuts from a project last summer and either it was time to build with them or burn them, lol.
So, this was a lot of fun to make and not terribly hard. Well....
It was supposed to be the backsplash behind my stove but I made it too big, now it hangs on the wall, a reminder to measure twice, lol.
If you haven't made one before, you play with the pieces pre-glue, making sure you got what you want. Then you decide your stain pattern and then stain the loose pieces. I only stained about 1/4" down the edges of the pieces as I wanted the glue to adhere well when assembled.
Adding a row of barnboard around the edge was a fun touch to add.

Really pretty. I like the color combinations you used. Are these thin pieces attached to plywood? The glueup stage looks daunting to me!!
Wow....stunning !
Great looking. All goes well together. Well done

You know I really like those geometric patterns!
Seems easy on paper but getting all the parts sized correctly can be a challenge, any errors stack up.
Looks great with the colors and woods, the closer one looks, the more details emerge. Getting fractal!

Hey thanks Guys,
BB1 - they are full 3/4" pine with no plywood base.
Splinter Group - Not very hard really, its all 45 degree angles. Start from the middle and make slight sanding adjustment as you go. Each time I go around as a layer, I sand the edge on the belt sander so the next layer goes on nice.

Beautiful work. Very precise cutting and assembly.
Hey thanks guys, this was surprisingly easy to make. I may take another stab at it and will take better notes to share for next time.
