All the quilt blocks are 4' x 4':
Some of the business owners requested particular colors - this one includes Kubota Orange as it is displayed at New Mexico Machinery and they are also a Kubota dealer.
This one was designed for Pecos Flavors Winery - they also have a wonderful little deli that is a popular lunch destination:
And this one was purchased by a local nursery called The Greenery:
This one was purchased by the local quilt shop:
This is the only one that is 2' x 2' - it sits behind my co-worker / quilting co-hort and me and the auctioneer at the sale barn. My boss is also a quilter and a member of our tribe. You just never know where you will encounter a quilter. :)
Some of ya'll have asked whether this was a fundraiser. The answer is no. We initiated this as a community development project to help promote tourism, local businesses, and preserve history in the area. The businesses paid a fee and and that went towards the lumber, paint, and flyers. Any extra we have goes towards scholarships and charity community projects.

I enjoyed seeing all of these blocks. That was quite an endeavor! You all did beautiful work.
The joy of seeing those blocks as you drive through the area. What a wonderful gift to the area.
They are all beauties!! You guys really DID do a lot of work on those! Great job.
The blocks are gorgeous! Kudos for all who volunteered to create these beautiful blocks. I hope they stir up a lot of interest in your community.
Barn blocks are wonderful! I want to build one for my parents' barn and have just been debating on which block. Any suggestions? I know it should be red/white/blue.
Thanks for sharing all the blocks! They are all wonderful! That last block looked the hardest! It would be so much fun to drive through the town and see all the blocks, especially someone from out of town! Kudos to your group and all the hard work!!!!
Love them!
The barn blocks are absolutely marvelous! Congrats on a job well done - what a commitment. Maybe someday I’ll be in your neck of the woods and can see them in person.
Fabulous barn quilts! How fun that so many participated. I saw your comment on Alycia's train post, and I wondered whether the train you want to take is the Cumbres-Toltec, out of Chama. We used to spend some of our summer and fall travel time in the RV park right on the train line and Chama River. We chased that train SO many times, and even took it once. It goes all summer, and under the right conditions, has a Polar Express run, too.
