I had this blank wall on the out side of my house, I hated it. I planted Ivey, a tree noting looked right. I decided to make a small Barn Quilt got ideas from Pinterest.
I had fun deciding, drew it out first before painting. It took about a week to complete. I allowed each coat of paint to dry overnight or several hours. Before moving on.

This is my blank wall. With the shadow of a limb from the pecan tree that is just out of sight.
My husband cut and framed the back of exterior grade plywood using wood screws.
I sanded the edges and the face side.
Painted both front and back to make it more weather proof.
I cut out my design using craft paper.
Traced it onto the face of my finished board
Taped the edges of the design to apply my base color.
Two coats of each color blue and red, tape removed and reapplied before painting white two coats again.
Tape applied for pin stripe.
Red strip next to blue and blue strip next to red for contrast.
