A trick for reducing need for touch ups is to paint another coat of your background color (the white) after you have taped and before you paint the top color. That way, if it bleeds under the tape it will be the same white and will create a seal along the tape line, so that the top color can't bleed through. This adds another dry time, but saves touch up time later and usually results in nice crisp line. It's especially handy on surfaces that aren't totally smooth.
Hello. I just tried my very first barn quilt and the acrylic paint peeled off. It did not adhere to the wood. I was using Liquitex Basic. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!
If you press your tape down well and let the paint dry completely, you will not have paint seep under tape. You will get a sharp edge when you pull up tape. You shouldn't need much touch up.
I don’t remember, but we used a 2x2 piece of plywood, nine quart sized cans of glass paint and painter’s tape and divided that by the number of people. We all brought our own paint brushes and measuring tools
please be aware of your music--it's is so much louder than your voice. Would have liked you to explain how you measured out the quadrants on the frame - I'm not a quilter but do sew clothes and I wood work so I'm sure it would make sense - just wasn't familiar.
I know that. I'm just being picky (annoying) about the word 'quilt', which implies a bunch of separate pieces that are cut to shape and then brought together. Painting a board isn't how you make a quilt. It's how you make a painting.
A barn quilt is a representation of a quilt block on wood. Many rural areas in particular have created this artwork to honor the craft in a semi-permanent manner by then mounting it on the side of a barn, home or wall.
it is using quilt PATTERNS painted on wood. nobody is suggesting it's an actual quilt. Way to go to disrespect 2 fine American folk traditions. altho I have seen fancy woodworkers actually cut pieces of wood in the same shapes as fabric and piece them into the pattern and then mount them on a piece of plywood. These are usually done for indoor use only and use high quality wood to show off the qualities of different wood types and use clear and other types of wood stain instead of paint. they usually make a frame for the finished piece of plywood.

Great tutorial!!! Our guild just gave a presentation on Barn Quilts and now there is a big interest to do our own!!!
liked this ,where did you get your plywood from ,Thank you
Ditch the framing square and get a drafting T-square and some 60 & 45 degree triangles.
love this; thank you so much for sharing. I am making one!
I love this!
I've thought of hanging two on my garage doors, thanks for this video.
Love this, I really would like one for my shed since I don/t have a barn. Thanks for such great instructions. Just found your channel.

That is cool.
Love this idea for our quilt guild! Thanks! I just need to do the numbers! Any insight hw you came to your cost per member?

Are you using MDO, signboard, as the painting surface?
How thick was the plywood and how many coats of paint on the colors?
We used half inch, but you could do any thickness, and it has been a while, but I think we just did one coat.
I know you said you were using outdoor paint but I wondered if you put any clear sealer over the whole piece front and back?
Sealer can yellow the paint over time. So just stick with high gloss outdoor paint.
Whats in the tweed guitar case ?
How long between paint colors does it need to dry?
Follow the recommended dry and recoat times listed on the paint can.
Thank you!

Hi. Great work on the Barn Quilts.. Are your paints oil based or some other type?
Thank you!
Disappointed that you didn't share the type of board or type of primer
If you want to make your own woodworking yourself just look for woodprix website. There is all you need to make it :)

But is this really a quilt? If I painted a pattern on a sheet, it wouldn't be a quilt.
Barn quilts are totally a thing!
