After much research, worked out my TQ. Was planning a 50x72" 40* with 1.5" baffles. Well first mistake was not reading the width of the 1.1 seconds I bought, which was 48". Also not realizing that for a 50" finished, I needed 55" with seam allowance. So ended up with 48" wide.
Next as I was marking baffles, somehow I ended up with one less baffle on the inner than outer shell. Ok shifted them and sewed them in. The baffles are at a slant internally, but oh well!
Then I went to harvest my "down" pillow, I found all feathers. I guess I should have looked at the labels closer. Had to order from Wilderness Logics my down, which I ended up ordering 1 bag short. This is because my missing baffle suddenly showed up as I was stuffing!
After stuffing and cleaning and sewing, here is the final product
My wife said, "that looks great, honey. You are never doing another one"however she did tell me to buy what I need now
It's a bit small on me width wise, but will fit my son great.
