Barn quilts are thought to date back around 300 years, when European immigrants brought the concept with them to Pennsylvania. Barns were generally not painted, so artwork was hung on the sides as a type of identification. Geometric designs are painted onto the wood and were originally used to denote the family that owned the barn and land, since no two quilts were alike.
Now, BLUE RIDGE CUSTOM BARN QUILTS has taken this age-old art into the 21st Century! With the addition of a "laser engraver" your quilt now becomes a one-of-a-kind expression of YOUR passion!
All Barn Quilts are produced on MDO (Medium Density) plywood. MDO is a premium plywood with a durable, weatherproof resin impregnated overlay bonded to one or both sides. All edges and both sides are sealed with two coats of exterior primer and finished with two coasts of urethane for long lasting endurance through all types of weather. High quality enamel paints are used for crisp lines, high visibility and resistance to fading.
