The Quilty Barn Along...Barn 9...Country Crossroads Block Tutorial!...

Good Morning cute peoples!!!

It's time for Barn #9 in the 

Quilty Barn Along

This barn features 2 of my favorite colors...

red and yellow.

Classis farm colors.

And I really love the softness and warmth that

the brown adds too.

I don't know if you have noticed but I have been alternating

grays and browns each week for the barn roof.

Onto the block...

I designed this block especially for this barn

and I'm calling it

"Country Crossroads"

I didn't get a good picture of the cutting...

but it's simple.

Cut 4 - 3" print squares 

Cut 4 - 1 1/2" x 3" yellow strips

Cut 1 - 1 1/2" red square

Cut 16 - 1 1/4" background squares for

 Easy Corner Triangles

Sew the Easy Triangle Squares onto each corner of the 3" squares like this.

Trim and press towards the triangles and lay it out 

on your mini design board for placement.

Now simply sew together into 3 rows and join the rows together.

Press the seams towards the yellow strips on all 3 rows.

Press the 2 seams open when joining the rows together.

Wasn't that an easy peasy block?

Cute and simple.

Lay your barn block out on your large design board like this....

And build your barn!

Barn #9...

three more to go in this first quilt!

I put quilty barn #9 on my design board to 

keep my tractor and silo barn #2 company...

What do you think of the new block...

are you having fun yet???
