***If you just can't seem to wrap yourself around the paper piecing style, then I decided to offer a template version as well so you can cut them out and sew them together, just remember to set your page scaling to none before printing out any of the patterns, paper pieced or template versions!! This is Very Important!!
These are very small blocks and that is why they are mostly paper pieced, but I can understand that paper piecing is just not for everyone! Either way I want you to enjoy making your blocks! So the choice is yours! |

All parts of the "Quilt Barns" quilt will be given in PDF format, if you do not have Acrobat Reader 8 then please go and download a free copy so you won't have any problems opening the patterns. If you have an older version of Acrobat Reader, then I suggest that you download an updated version, just in case there are problems reading the patterns.

"The Patchwork Quilt"
Of all the things a
woman's hands have made,
The quilt so lightly thrown across her bed--
The quilt that keeps her loved ones warm--
Is woven of her love and dreams and thread.
When I have spoken to
you of its beauty,
"A mere hodge-podge of calico," you said,
"A necessity of homely fashioning,
Just a covering made of cloth and thread.
I knew you'd missed the
message hidden there
By hands that fashioned quilts so long ago.
Ambition and assurance are the patches
And the stitches of a quilt are love, I know.
I think a quilt is
something very real--
A message of creation wrought in flame;
With grief and laughter sewn into its patches
I see beyond the shadows, dream and aim.
