I've been wanting to start on the Old Barn block for a while. I don't know if it was the color red or the barns that are scattered in my area of southwest Indiana. I found it very pleasing to the eye.
As I laid out the fabric pieces out, I could see that there weren't many seams that needed to be perfectly matched. That made the piecing easy.
I could really see the barn coming together, once the quarter square triangle block was placed for the barn door.
Two more blocks I had made a while ago: Haystack Block and Wooly Sheep block. Using the courthouse steps piecing, the Haystack block was a very easy block to piece together. I found the piecing of the Wooly Sheep block very irritating. I had a quite a fight with the ears. I had an annoying time trying to keep the ears on the correct side of the head! I'll add the embroidered legs later.
With these three blocks added, I have 15 blocks so far.
