Modern Farmhouse meets Barn Quilt

I got to thinking about how I would love to have a Barn Quilt for my fireplace mantel in our living room.  But I wanted it to be along the lines of a Modern Farmhouse vibe.

 I seriously thought this project would be the death of me.

A little dramatic?  OK, maybe a little.  But I struggled with this one.  Initially I wanted a more complicated pattern and it wasn't coming together.   I opted for simplicity and went with Four Points.  Easy…

I used gray, black, cream, tan and khaki for my colors.  Then out of 1 X 2’s I made a frame for it.

It looks so beautiful against the barn wood above the fireplace on the mantel!

Who says barn quilts are only for barns?

Isn’t she glorious?
