Last fall I wrote a post about the barn quilt the kids gave me which we ordered from Way Back When Barn Quilts (unfortunately, the link to this website is presently inactive).
I promised a picture, and here's the barn quilt installed on the garden shed with hostas, cone flowers, azaleas, and a butterfly bush planted around it:I absolutely love looking out my bedroom window at this quilt each morning when I awaken. The pattern is Summer Star Flower.
If you'd like to read about the history behind barn quilts, check out Barn Quilt Info (Edited to update with a correct link).
Also Suzi Parron's blog Barn Quilts and the American Quilt Trail is very interesting. She travels around the country photographing barn quilts wherever she spots them.
Here's another photo of the barn quilt looking through some tiger lilies in the garden:I love my barn quilt!
Linking to Bloomin' Tuesday.
