Apply painters tape in a straight line along each edge of the sections where you will paint your lightest color. The inner edge of the painter's tape should be lined up with the pencil outline of that color. Painters tape will easily peel off once you're done with it. It's best to start with your lightest color and work your way up to the darker colors. The tape helps you paint smooth, straight lines. Make sure the tape is tightly attached to the plywood. If you have 2 overlapping pieces of painters tape at a corner, you can cut them away to make a sharp point. Line up your straight edge where you want to make the cut and cut the tape with a razor blade or x-acto knife. Then, peel off the bit of tape you sliced to reveal a sharp corner. Be very careful with the blade. If you are a kid, get an adult to help with this step. Use an exterior latex paint. Paint inside the tape lines for all the sections that are in your first color.

That way, you'll have a crisp, full block of color. You don't have to wait for your paint to totally dry before giving it a second coat just leave it for a few minutes. You should peel off the tape while the second coat of paint is still wet, so that it leaves behind a smooth line. Peel slowly and carefully to avoid smudging. Don't worry if there are a few spots where the paint bled through the tape, because you will touch up those spots at the end. Remember to let the paint dry thoroughly before you put more tape down. It may take about an hour or more for your paint to dry, so leave your barn quilt be and go do something else to keep yourself occupied.

If you are in a humid place, it will take even longer for your paint to dry. Remember to be patient and let each paint color dry thoroughly before moving onto the next color. Use a fresh paintbrush for each color. Remove the painters tape when you've done your last color and admire your work. There will probably be a few small spots where one color accidentally bled over onto the other color. Using a small artist's paintbrush, cover up the mistakes with a little bit of the correct color.
