    Yes, just like your pic. One piece for the bottom, one for the top & baffles.

    That was fun to make one that way. A lot of preplanning goes a long way. I like how you can't see the stitching on the one side. Your quilt makes me hungry for pumpkin pie.

    That's a great idea, and much simplier to make! Bravo...

    Great job. Orange is not a color I'm fond of, but I do like it on your quilt.

    Very nice, I like the color. Thanks for the pictures I wasn't aware of this baffle type.
    Quilting is an area of study all it's own.

    What did you use for your differential ratio. Such as I have been using 6 inches top and 7 inches bottom. I'm really proud that you made those baffles that way. That was an experiment that turned out well. It will be a lot stronger then bugnetting.

    6-5/8" for the top & 7-5/8" for the bottom.

    Looks like I ended up with a total loft around 3.75"-4" which sould get me to approx 20*-30*F. Tried out a draft stopper for the head end, will have to see how it works out. I have to thank Te-Wa and Dutch for all the info & help they offer.

    This was our first attempt at a down quilt. It ended up too small. So instead of being a 3/4 qulit it is a 1/2 quilt.

    Called this one The Great Pumpkin:
    Looks GREAT!!I like the color as well and i see you have a some friends that hangout with you too.We have 2cats that love to lay on all my gear.HS
