DIY Barn Square

Barn squares are a historic form of folk art - often seen on the barns of the midwest.  They are also called barn quilts. As far as we can tell, they have always been used as pure decoration.  We chose a simple rotating pattern with 5 colors - including white.  The teal is a color that is used as an accent around our whole property (bird houses, entry doors, etc).  This can tie in different elements to feel cohesive.
