Quilt Along

I finished the top of the Old Red Barn Co. Quilt Along. I started late and slow but I have catched up. It is 4 x 6 blocks (49 by 73). Each block ended up being 12 1/4 inches, I found that using a thick-er contton thread that my friend gave eats up a milimiter on each seam. If it had to have a name I would call it fruit salad. No credit card was harmed while making this quilt.
Terminé la parte de arriba del quilt organizado por Old Red Barn Co., empecé tarde y despacio. Como es casi imposible conseguir lindos algodones en Uruguay saquételas combinadas de mi cajón. Si tuviera que ponerle un nombre esta manta se llamaría Ensalada de Frutas. Es de 4 x 6 bloques de 12 1/4 pulgadas, 1.25 x 1.85 mts. Se suponía que cada bloque tenía que ser de 12 y 1/2 pero usé un hilo grueso y eso me comió 6 o 7 milimetros. Parece mentira! Pero quedaron cuadrados y bien alineados asi que no importó mucho.

What a fun, bright quilt. I think the name is perfect. Congratulations on even trying to quilt by machine yourself. I have tried but I get frustrated too.
