I love the idea of doing this for a smaller art quilt. Thanks for the review as I hadn't heard about this one yet.
One of my goals is to make a what I call a calendar quilt or 'house of the month' quilt, one house for each month of the year and the fabrics will reflect the season. This looks book looks really interesting.

Mari, I love this book too and could not agree more with all the great things you wrote about! Julie did an excellent job teaching the ideas behind free piecing and construction techniques, I'm planning a bit of barn building too. I like the way your farm house is starting out and think that could translate into a great quilt block or mini!

Happy blogiversary a bit late! Mari - I'm just back from Paducah and was so happy to find your review in my unread posts list!
I am thrilled that you are taking the process notes and using them to create the farmhouse and I look forward to your progress updates! The Painter barn is easy to see from a distance.
Build-A-Barn - No Pattern Construction (Paperback)
It stands tall out in the Palouse, some 16 miles southwest of Cheney. It has been there for years and remains today what it has always been, a working barn.
The old Bonney cabin still stands on the property, and it is for that family that nearby Bonney Lake is named. Cheney Plaza Road and still uses the barn for hay storage and other farm needs. Julie and her sister Janice married brothers Charles and Steve Pittman, and together they maintained the family tradition on the land. When the state of Washington celebrated its centennial in , the farm received centennial recognition at a ceremony attended by people, Julie recalled. And in , artist Nona Hengen created a painting of the farm, including the big red barn, and a large Painter weekend picnic was held celebrating years of continual ownership that drew visitors to tour the farm from across the state.

As is true for most farms, the barn is the center of things. The barn, with cupola atop the middle of the roof, contains stalls for horses, grain bins, large stairs to the loft, a tack area and windows. Julie noted that windows were a luxury but her great-grandfather wanted natural light in the barn.
