Not Really Trash, But A Treasure

I love quilting and I love barns.  I love traveling a quilt trail.  Since we are working on our 10 year to clean up and create a garden filled yard...and we are into the 6th year...it is time to create our backyard quilt square.

I am starting with a 4 foot by 4 foot piece of Lowe's plywood.  I've primed both sides (just in case I mess up one side I will be ready to go again on the other). I have always known that I would do an Ohio Star.  But if all goes well, I might just have to make a smaller log cabin square.

I had a little help with color design.  Michael, Luke and I spent one afternoon in the garage with a box of colored pencils.

Mr John taught me a little trick with a chalk line that made things so much easier.

Then I talked to Lizzie at Cedarmore Farm, and she convinced me to use true Amish quilting colors.  Now all I need to do it go to Lowe's and pick them out!
