Tartan quilt top finished.

Thank goodness for that! When I first started this quilt top I thought I would have it done in a week or so, because the pattern is quite simple. But I kept stuffing up measurements, and it has ended up a lot bigger than what I'd planned - it is supposed to be a single bed quilt but look at it here on our Queen size bed! Still, if it goes to a man or boy who is on the tall side, he'll have plenty to tuck in at night.

I keep a record of the details of my quilt tops - how much fabric I used and how it was cut up. Yes I do follow patterns, but as all quilters know, sometimes things can change...So if I decided to make this one again, it won't take as long. But I've got some other quilt patterns I want to try using the tartan fabrics, so this one won't be repeated for a while, if at all.
