    Wow! Very plump quilt. I'm going to have to investigate this Karo thing.

    very pretty Jerry.
    There's a quilt project for me this winter, I haven't yet decided what, but one of these would be a nice thing to try.

    What is the spacing on your baffles?

    Most of the baffles are 6" long. A few around the sides at the foot end are 2" long. The big squares, side to side between baffles, are 16". The small squares, end to end of the baffles, are 10".

    This spacing is larger than most of these I could find, but it seems to be working very well. I don't think a closer spacing is needed and it would just make more work.

    OK, that makes sense. I thought they must have been larger or you were pretty short! It really looks good! How much time do you have invested in the sewing?

    Thanks. The finished length is 74" and the head end width is 53". I'd guess I have about 2 to 3 hours in the sewing and maybe 5 or 6 hours total.
