Progress is slow, expect it and plan for it! Under quilt build

[Brewguy]

Making progress on my wife's quilt, with kids and gardens and a job it's tough to find much time to work. Also a lot of time goes into thinking through each step, and you really do need to take your time.

Here is my progress so far

Looking great, what is the blue tape?

sorry put this together quick last night on the tablet, not much detail.

The blue tape is marking my baffles, I fold the mesh and sew along the tape instead of using pens or chalk. It's working very well.

Think your progress is slow? I am hand sewing my UQ. But I can't start it till I finish the winter tarp and top quilt! Keep up the good work.

Wow, i can't even imagine doing it all by hand.

I managed to get all the baffles sewn to the hammock side. Now I need to complete the lay out on the other shell side and sew.
