April Challenge: Barn Quilt?

Seriously???!!! ;o)
YUP! That's exactly what my darling WPS (Wing Pit Sistah) Terry asked us Calendar Girls to do for this month challenge hostessed by hers truly.
Here's what she told us -in her own words- about Barn Quilts:
.
"...What is a Barn Quilt? A barn quilt is an 8 foot by 8 foot replica of a quilt block made of plywood and hung on the side of old barns here in Wisconsin.

There are hundreds throughout the state and I love seeing them up close and personal.  Above are some beautiful examples (the first picture I pass every day):
My challenge to you is to use one of the following quilt blocks to create this months card: ...."

Well, truth be known I absolutly LOVED this challenge!! I made a quilt card a couple years ago at one of stacking -up card parties I attended, and it was about time to come up with a new one...*THANK YOU Terry for the inspiration!*
I started to create my card only this morning, as Life has a way to interfear when least wanted ....then, after a few  phone calls interruptions I was finally able to resume and complete my card...and here's my take on this month's  challenge.

 

 I wanted to achieve a quilted creation using a mix of designer papers leftovers from my scrap box , but also wanted to add some dimentions to the patches as well as a solid color beside the original textured pink which -at the centre of the quilt- I replaced with a single square of floral fantasy to make the centre pop.

Here you have it! :o)
I hope you like my interpretation for Terry's challenge...can't wait to see what the rest of the Calendar Girls created !
