Introducing the BACK OF THE BARN quilt block 🧵 Imagine an afternoon drive through country roads — maybe right outside Green Hills — on a crisp winter day. Snow patches reflect the sun’s golden rays, horses frolic in the pastures, and every barn boasts a beautiful quilt block, painted in bold, vibrant colors.

That vision is my inspiration for Back of the Barn, a traditionally pieced house block with a twist: it features a staple on many barns across America. The barn quilt can be a miniature version of any block; this pattern uses the Road to Oklahoma with holiday fabrics from AGF Studio’s 2025 “Christmas in the Cabin” collection.

In my 24 years of quilting, I have made many football quilts, I have made many baby quilts, and I have made many football, baby quilts.

They all began with Quilt #2: Logan Cade…

Quilt #1 is called Momma's Hands...it is the first quilt I made and the only one I've made without a sewing machine. Every stage of it was done by hand. My hands. Momma's hands 💛

Before I began making quilts, I was given a beautiful wedding ring quilt for my own wedding from my Grandma Syble. Here is the story of that gift ❤️
