DIY Barn Quilt: Start to Finish (Ohio Star)

In this video we make a barn quilt and install it on our house. We have been wanting to make one for a long time, and we are very excited to have it done. We go through the process of measuring and drawing the pattern, painting, sealing, and hanging.

Beautiful choice of block and and colours❤

If you start by finding the center of your board and work out, evenly on both sides of that point with drawing out your grid. You will then have an even border all the way around.

I'd love to see this after a couple years.

[@salomeacreshomestead]

It's been one year and one very harsh winter and it still looks new!

Absolutely STUNNING! Thank you so much for sharing this process. I've decided to make one for the end of my house also and watching your process was of great help! Also, I must comment on how clean and orderly your work area is!

[@salomeacreshomestead]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy this video was helpful. The work space is made to be used and it often messy, but it's quick to clean up.

[@jeanludtke2913]

Pulling the tape off slowly is a great idea.

[@salomeacreshomestead]

It's the most nerve racking part. So happy it worked! Frog Tape is the way to go.

Really loved this. I have recently purchased a home with a large black board and batten wall and thought a barn quilt would look great up there. So I began looking for ideas and your video is perfect, start to finish. Do you get harsh winters? I'm curious to know how it held up year round.

[@salomeacreshomestead]

So happy you like it! We do get harsh winters, and it’s holding up very well!

[@kathieatkinson5002]

@@salomeacreshomestead great, thanks so much

Did you say you used MDO? Did you prime?

[@Travelsalot]

What clear coat did you use? What did you use to hang out on house?

[@salomeacreshomestead]

We used an exterior spar urethane for the clear coat, and we used deck screws to hang it on the house.

[@MB-cj4zv]

What thickness is the board you used?

[@salomeacreshomestead]

We used half inch.

[@MB-cj4zv]

May I ask if it held up to the outdoor weather?

[@salomeacreshomestead]

@@MB-cj4zv It's held up very well! It's one year old now, and it still looks new.
