Make a Barn Quilt !

[@carolinawoods-n-water4392]

For the last year or so, I’ve been crafting wood flags as a hobby & have been pretty successful with selling them locally, as well as in other states. I’ve never wanted to make barn quilts because it looked to difficult. Today when I was delivering my crafts to a store, the owner really encouraged me to start making barn quilts. That is what brought me to KZbin & your video. You REALLY made the process look attainable for me & I’m definitely going to try it. Thank you so much for this tutorial & how you stepped through all the processes!

[@ellenjgoods]

That’s fantastic! I think you’ll find our pattern books so easy to use. They are designed so that you can make them any size! Have fun 💓

[@colleenkirkbride5455]

I really enjoyed seeing Megan doing a project! I hope she will join you again!

[@ellenjgoods]

I hope so too!

[@Ashestoashespetcrematory]

You make it look so easy!!! Looks fun

[@ellenjgoods]

You should try it, it is very fun!

[@cindyk4294]

Ellen, I made one of these out of craft paper, and covered it with mod podge. It was adorable!

[@ellenjgoods]

So glad Cindy I bet it was adorable! Enjoy creating!

[@lisafriend5535]

Hi Meghan. Love your hair. After today’s live and this YT video I’m inspired to try a hardwood quilt.

[@ellenjgoods]

Wonderful! Have fun creating and thank you for the compliment!

[@StacyBrule]

As someone who has never been here before and isnt making a barn quilt I have so mamy questions even though I know this is old. Is the heat made of paper? Is it vinyl? Whats going on there? What us the yellow haired lady thinking? Did she want to be there are they fighting behind the scene? Was she annoyed when the other lady kept putting her ruler across her canvas. Did she just wake up? Do they even like eachother? Im refraining from timestamping and questioning but man this video is loaded. Thank you!

[@ellenjgoods]

Welcome here to our channel, thank you for stopping by. As you pointed out, this is an older video and that is me and my daughter! We can be a handful together, lol! If you watch any of our newer videos, she is now the moderator. And yes we do love each other! You asked if the heat is made of paper, I am not sure what you are asking there.

Beats the hell out of making a quilt!

[@ellenjgoods]

Isn’t that the truth!!!

[@lorygriffin3167]

I love this. What would you put on this to use outside? Thanks

[@rebeccawolf3196]

I really love the colors you used! The pink one kinda fades away on camera but I bet it looks great in person.

[@ellenjgoods]

Thank you so much. Yes, the pink is very subtle. 💓

[@kristenganshaw497]

Hi Ellen, LeRoy NY here. Just came across this video when I was looking up instructions on how to do a barn quilt. I’ve become so fascinated. Where can I purchase wood ?

[@ellenjgoods]

Wonderful! We sell the blank risers here! ellenjgoods.com/collections/bnb/products/12-x12-pine-quilt-plank

[@shantejames8295]

[@cindynelson4879]

What type and size of wood do you use to edge your boards

[@ellenjgoods]

It’s pine, JR rips it down to about 3/4 x 1”

[@pattylevine_oohilovethat]

Very cool!

[@ellenjgoods]

Thanks Patty! Have you ever made one?

[@65lulisa]

Where can I buy Barn quilt books?

[@ellenjgoods]

Here is a link to our website ellenjgoods.com/collections/bnb?

[@susancone1787]

Do you pattern books have more than one size? I'm looking for one that's about 36" square for a wall outside. I'm assuming I can enlarge the using some math. Thank you. Loved your video.

[@ellenjgoods]

Hi Susan. The patterns are designed so that you can convert them to any size

[@9050julia]

Where do you get the books at?

[@ellenjgoods]

You can find the patterns on our website, here is the link ellenjgoods.com/search?q=barn+quilts+patterns

[@evawebster8650]

I made one following your directions on 1/4 inch plywood. How do I hang it on a brick wall? I don't know what to put on the back of my barn quilt.

[@ellenjgoods]

I think you would have to secure an anchor into your wall and then hang it. You may need someone with more expertise in drilling into brick or stone . I’m so glad you finished your project!

[@shantejames8295]

the first thing is to make a four by four board

[@daisyduck61]

how do you hang on the shed what do put on the back it to hang it

[@ellenjgoods]

Hi! These have a hanger on the back for indoor use. You can either do a wire hanger or sawtooth hanger. An outdoor quilt for a shed would require something more permanent like being screwed in place.

[@saradessalee385]

Can these be placed outside as they are or would they need to be sealed?

[@ellenjgoods]

Hi Sara! I would use an all purpose sealer like DIY Big Top or Fusion Tough Coat and seal the entire piece!

[@lisarigney7725]

What is the name of the paint you use?

[@ellenjgoods]

Lisa Rigney for this project, I use Fusion Mineral Paint. Available on our website!.

[@StacyBrule]

And why couldnt you pick your own color?

[@ellenjgoods]

You can make these any colors that you want.

[@lbsmith83]

Your instructions were very easy to follow. Next time I would get a student that was excited about the project. She looked liked she was bored and the colors she picked were really awful. .

[@ellenjgoods]

Thanks for the feedback. My daughter, who was the student, was very pleased with her color choices. That’s what makes creativity so wonderful. We get to choose our colors! Have a nice day!

[@buzzyanderson4131]

Also, if you are actually hanging it from a barn, your colors are not contrasting enough!

[@shabbynative9522]

Wow! Some people !

[@shabbynative9522]

Rude! How dare talk about our Megan!!!
