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??? xx Lori
