Default Big Red Tractor coming along

Started on this after work yesterday for about 3 hours and about 4 hours today. All the blocks are done, all the 2-block sections are sewn together, and the whole is ready to sew together. Got half of it done and breaking for lunch... and then probably a nap!

No matter how I photograph this the red comes out too bright in the photo. It's actually the dark red of the tractors.

Very cute! Love the layout. Of course, my tractor quilts for my DGS had to be "Green John Deere". He never said simply John Deere! Green is all we have on this farm! I love the red..my favorite color.

What's it going to be? I can see this as the center of a quilt for a little boy - you've done a great job of keeping everything square and I like the layout.

It's going to be this. My great-nephew picked out the fabric and I made the design.

I love the fence you're going to put around it. Keep showing it as it progresses.
