Great shot and I see a hex sign (keeping evil spirits out). I have painted a jillion of those for barns. I love them.
Thanks, Jo, and this a "Quilt Barn." Some years ago either the Indiana State Fair or the Indiana Barn Foundation (can't remember which) had a project for barn owners to design quilt patterns and both put them on their barns and create a cloth quilt section of a specific size. Each of the sections were then put together to create a huge quilt that has been displayed at the fair more than once. It was quite impressive. And, maybe they also kept the spirits out. I have heard that was the reasoning for some of the participants joining in. At any rate, these wooden quilt patch designs now adorn barns all over the state.

They are beautiful. Many barns in Tennessee have them but I have seen only one in Alabama since I moved here. I painted them for many barns in Tn but some called them hex signs. I loved painting them.

This one caught my eye the other day while out looking for my steam photo. I have the entire barn in the image, but felt that a 1:1 format looked nice.
Nice one! I like the crop.
