The Quilty Barn Along...First Quilt Top Complete!!!...

Last week while I was on retreat...

I was able to finish up the top of the first quilt in 

The Quilty Barn Along

YaY!!!

If you happen to follow me on

 Instagram...

you watched my progress every step of the way:)

It has been so much fun to piece this quilt...

Each and every barn has been a labor of love:)

 I made all of my barns in this quilt red...

And I used

 colorful prints in the 

sashing's to set off the red barns nicely.

I also added another set of sashing strips around the outside...

So that there would be 2 strips on all 4 sides of each barn.

I'm not adding additional borders.

I don't think it needs them and

 I'm happy with the size of the quilt.

(it's a twin)

I cut a - 2 1/2" square for each corner.

They are all different fabrics ...but all are aqua.

I cut the outside sashing strips...

2 1/2" x 20 1/2"

(you will need to cut 14 of them)

 "Quilty Barns" 

64" x 84"

Designed and made by

Lori Holt

of Bee in my Bonnet

I am working on finishing up

 the embroidery for the Tractor label

 on the back...

so that I can get it

 off to the quilters.

I'll show you the label 

as soon as it's complete!

Leave me some bloggy love and

 let me know what you 

think of my first Quilty Barn finish!

Have a quilty kind of day...
