Welcome to the garden with this gorgeous Sunflower Hex Barn Quilt. You know my love for old Pennsylvania Dutch Hex Signs and this time year, my garden is bursting with sunflowers. I wanted a subdued, very-vintage color inspired, sunflower so I went straight to my Prairie Paint Collection and pulled out my favorite Hay-Down and Butter Cream and paired it with two new colors coming to the Prairie Paint family this weekend. The center color of the sunflower is Iron Gate, which is a gray old looking black. It is so subtle you really don't notice the difference unless you set it next to Old Crow. I love this color for old looking blacks, in fact, I loved it so much I dry brushed the frame with it. This barn quilt is in The Shop for purchase in three gorgeous sizes. Framed and sealed for indoor our outdoor display. I am bringing mine into the house this afternoon to go over my mantle. Check out my Instagram stories for pics. If you love subtle fall colors, this is the Sunflower for you. It's even more gorgeous in person. Sending a garden full of Sunflower Hex Barn Quilt Blessings your way.
