Raising a barn-HST

My SIL is leading my mom and I through this quilt. I'm making mine much smaller to cross another project off my list. This beauty will belong to my friend's second daughter.

I have enjoyed keeping this quilt straight. I color coded the graph, numbered all the fabrics, assigned them a spot in the quilt and am now laying out the quilt one quadrant at a time.

don't mind the flannel behind. It's the only flannel I had on hand. 

My SIL apologized for this being so difficult for me. Well, it's my own dang fault! I decided to make all the fabrics in each color category order from 1-4. Yes, I have a problem with being random. It never looks right to me.

I secretly covet this quilt. Is that wrong?
