How to Make a Barn Quilt | An Easy Ohio Barn Quilt Tutorial

Hi friends! I can't wait to show you how you can make this beautiful Ohio Barn Quilt for your home!
A few weeks ago I shared a barn quilt I made that I hung in my front entry and I got tons of messages and emails asking how I made it!
I wanted to share with you how you can make a beautiful barn quilt with special stencil or cutting machine needed. You just need surface to paint, painters tape and of course paint, that's it!
So grab yourself a cozy blanket, and a hot tea, sit back, relax and let me show you how to make a barn quilt!
I can't wait to see yours too! If you make one, snap a picture and tag me! I'd love to see!

Hi Sherry! I’m so glad you enjoyed this! Have a great weekend!

[@myirisheyesaresmiling5037]

I’ve made a few 4’x4’ barn quilts, one Christmas themed in red, green and white for a back drop on my porch. I use a water based sealer once I’m finished. Oil based sealers will turn a yellowish color and ruin any light colors over time. I also find the center of the board by measuring corner to corner and putting an x in the center. This will help find the true center. I love your color choices! Barn quilt patterns can be found in Pinterest and drawn out in graph paper for measurements. Love this!!!

[@MotherThyme]

Hi! I’m so happy to hear you’ve made a few too! Thanks for your helpful tips as well! 🤍 Have a great weekend!

[@valeriefoster8274]

[@crystalclutter1174]

Jen! I love the colors you chose. I make barn quilts too! I have a suggestion, get letter stencils and stencil the first letter of your last name in the center of the middle square. It would be more personalized. Live n hugs! Crystal .

[@victoriabried131]

I absolutely love this craft. You did. The colors came together spectacular I am not thinking fall yet but I would like to make this for sure. I would also love to see one in country, red, white and blues. Just an idea. You do the most awesome crafting and decorating. Everything you do in your videos is just wonderful. God bless. Have a wonderful rest of the weekend.

Jenn, While you were painting, you turned the piece & I immediately “saw” it attached to a lazy Susan on my table with decor or condiments that go with the meal…. I’m SO excited to do this bc my wall space is limited!! great inspo ❤ thank you!

That’s a great idea! I love it! I might try that too! That would be so pretty for Christmas!!

Love this idea. Would you be able to give details on how you did your original one using the stencil that was cut by machine? I have a Cricut and would be thrilled to know how to make a stencil of this scale on it.

I'll be making one with my quilt group in September. So excited. Oh, using a hair dryer to speed it up is a great idea! How do you decide what star or pattern to use/are there ones better for this type of craft?

Hi! It’s a hair dryer. 😉 Have a great weekend!

[@margeburke5599]

I absolutely love this and I will be trying it. One thing that might help is brushing a thin layer of Modge Podge on the edge of the tape and let dry before painting. It does help with cleaner edges. I do it with stencils as well. Less bleed through.

[@MotherThyme]

Hi! That’s a great idea! Thanks for the tip! Have a great weekend!

[@abiering]

Do you paint MP on the tape edge only that you will be painting next to? Great tip. I’ve been wanting one of these.

[@margeburke5599]

@@abiering Yes I do...I seen anther crafter do it. It's not always perfect but much better then without. I do it when I make my own stencils with my Cricut.
