    Down still needs some time to lift up but there it is...it is reversible but he wants black outside and blue inside. Cinched footbox - omnitape and a kam snap for foot box

    I'll have more numbers soon - final loft - weight

    Final dimensions are about 87 inches long - 49 inches wide.

    Looks sharp. Very long. Do you find you're getting faster at them?

    I think so in several fronts.

    Planning was far quicker.

    Marking lines in prep for cuts - I bought a very long piece of aluminum angle iron for marking my lines for baffle placement - made the process far far quicker.

    Sewing the baffles I am far better at too..

    Still...I'm not entirely sure - but I think it took me total perhaps 8 ish hours - but it is 14 baffles so it is quite a bit of sewing.

    She's a beauty! I'm quite envious of those of y'all with enough skill to make a quilt. Looks great.

    Where did you get the original patterns when you first started? That's a nice color combination. Looking good and thanks for sharing.

    I only took basic dimensions (length and width) from my JRB Hudson River TQ - I basically winged the longitudinal baffles - which is easy enough as there is no taper in this design so pretty simple.

    So how does one learn how to sew the small pieces that connect the top and bottom that make the "walls" of the baffle? This is the way these are made so that you are not sewing through to the other side correct?
