Gray Barn Design Tips

Don’t over think fabric choices. Throw your 2.5

inch squares in a basket and randomly grab

squares to sew together in blocks.

Many different colors and patterns will make your

quilt sparkle.

Instead of using a green solid for the cornerstone

blocks and Border 2, use one of your favorite colors

to personalize your Summer Camp quilt!
