The Ponderosa Star

A Barn Quilt Rooted in Strength & Stillness

Some designs arrive quietly, carrying more meaning than they first reveal. The Ponderosa Star Barn Quilt is one of those pieces—steadfast, grounding, and deeply rooted.

Painted in four of our newest Prairie Paint colors — Molasses Crinkle, Gingerbread, Mocha Latte, and Browned Butter — this design captures the rustic warmth of a kitchen in full holiday bloom. Each tone was mixed to echo the soft browns and golden edges of a favorite cookie fresh from the oven.

It’s a space where past and present meet—where the colors of home, the artistry of a barn quilt, and vintage treasures make every moment feel special. ✨ You can find our newest color in our shop in 2 and 4 oz containers. Honeycomb walls, Grandma’s cozy couch,...

There are some designs that feel like a story waiting to be told — and Pricilla’s Star is one of them. Rooted in the folk-art traditions I hold close, this barn quilt brings together joyful color, symmetry, and the heart of a woman’s hands.
