A Quilt Fence for Friday's Fences

I was out a couple of weeks ago looking for barns to photograph and found quite a few on that particular outing all along the same route. On Monday I posted a Mail Pouch barn (click here) that I thought was the best one I'd ever seen. Literally a couple of hundred yards before that barn the fence above caught my attention. I'm always on the lookout for barns with quilt blocks so imagine my surprise to find a fence with the quilt squares. As it was just off the road I was past it when the barn came into view. I immediately pulled just off the road and took pictures of the barn and then decided I'd turn around and go back and figure out how to get a photo of the fence. Well, there was no other way than to stop in the middle of the road (yes, I know) but Hubby watched for traffic while I took two quick shots. I only wish I had a fence like this of my own. I'd sure have my own quilt squares!

    How cool is that? These quilt squares are a very rare find! Maybe an artist lives behind the fence.

    I've never seen the quilt squares on fences before. That is a neat idea and I am glad you got a picture of it. Sometimes people put interesting things in places where we can't get to them. What are they thinking (grin)

    Great picture and I had to laugh at your write up, too. It's always good when you have a "look out" with you!

    Seems that quilting has broadened out to different areas. I like the ones on the barns and now the fences.

    Too awesome!!!! I love this. I have a confession to make--all the great decorated fences out here have given me some inspiration. I used to make glazed tiles and I also paint and quilt. I love the quilt designs on barns. So, I thought, why don't I start making "Fence Art" to sell. I will likely stick with Southwestern designs here where I live, but I can see doing some quilt square ones too. This is exactly what I envision! :-)

    Oh, thanks for telling me the link was wrong for my new FF. Hope that doesn't mess up too many people.

    This is the first quilt fence I've seen. You did a great job of getting this photo. I hope you can get your own quilt fence some day.

    Oh now, this is original. Like you, always on the lookout for barn quilts but never thought of seeing them on privacy fences. A fence that can use some decoration, imo. And good job lookout hubby.

    That's neat. I've never seen the quilt blocks on a fence.

    Oh, that fence is simply wonderful. If I had a fence, I'd do this, too.

    I could only vaguely remember this...this would be a great idea. Seeing it made me think of what block I might chose...the second from the left.

    Only mine would have just a plain square in the middle. One name it is known by is Hole in the Barn Door. That would fit for me.

    Now to think of the colors I would want to use! Maybe we will encourage each other with this...we have both talked about it forever, and if you are like me...was thinking about it even before!

    I am thinking just a 4' c 4' or smaller....no pace for the big one.
