Sunday Selections ~ Second Sunday of August ~ Barn QuiltSøndagsbilleder ~ 2. søndag i august ~ Barn quilt

For nogle uger siden fortalte jeg, at jeg ville lave et Barn quilt til vores nye udhus.

Pladen til at male på, er basis for puslespillet her, så skulle den lige males hvid ... det glemte jeg så at tage billeder af ...

Some weeks ago I told about my plan to make a barn quilt.

The board is shown here, it's below the puzzle pieces.  Then I had to paint it white -- I forgot to snap a photo of this it seems ...

Næste forhindring var så at købe maling i de rigtige farver, og en rulle malertape.

🙩

The next hurdle was getting some paints in the right colours and some painters' tape.

Then painting began -- 🙨 --  Så begyndte jeg at male

Rigtig mange streger, virkelig meget malertape, og første lag maling!

🙩

A lot of marking up, many metres of painters' tape and the first coat of paint!

And the sun is shining still  -- 🙨 --  Solen skinner stadig

 

     Andet lag maling, det er stadig vådt, og al tapen straks fjernes igen - internettet vidste heldigvis besked, for manden i butikken sagde ikke noget - jeg skulle nok have spurgt.
     Det ligner da patchwork, ikke sandt?

🙩

Second coat of paint, still wet, and all the painter's tape removed right after - I looked it up on the 'net, as I did not know, and the man in the shop did not tell me - I probably should have asked.
  It does look a bit like a quilt, don't you think?

Nu mangler der bare "blomsterne" en firkant i hvert af hjørnerne - og de skal heldigvis være Strågule - månedens farve.

🙩

Now missing the "flowers", one square in each of the corners. And as luck will have it, they are going to be painted Straw Yellow - the colour of the month.

 More sunshine  -- 🙨 --  Mere solskinsvejr

 
And here we are. The straw yellow paint, I thought I had, had dried up, and the small amount, I was able to salvage would not be enough for even these small squares. But a nice lady in the paint shop helped me match the colour. There's soo many colours to chose from!

🙩

Og jeg troede jo at jeg havde den helt rigtige gule maling. Men den var tørret ud, og den lille rest, jeg kunne redde, ville ikke række. En flink dame i butikken hjalp mig med at matche farven ... der er virkelig mange farver på sådan et farvekort.

Så mangler 2. lag maling - og jeg skal nok huske at fjerne tapen med det samme! Hvad gjorde folk dog inden internettet?

🙩

Now missing second coat of paint, and I will remember to remove the tape as soon as I'm done painting. What did amateur painters like me do before the internet?

Lørdag var også dejlig varm med masser af solskin og jeg fik søreme malet igen.

🙩

Saturday was nice and warm with lots of sunshine. Painting happened.

Så skal det bare tørre helt og hænges op, det når jeg måske i dag, men ingen garantier. Skuret er færdigt, når vi ser bort fra et par små detaljer 😃

Now it has to dry completely, and then I'll hang it on our shed ... yes the shed is finished, only missing a few details 😃
I might make it today, but I promise nothing.

And to everybody who has said that my Straw Yellow was greenish. Yes it is, my new monitor makes for better colours.
Here's a comparison between my "Straw yellow" and the colour, I painted the cactus rose flowers:
