    Certainly try the 36" triangles, but also embrace the "list". BH's are frequently tilted while you're in a comfy position.

    Still no chance to sleep in it yet. Been getting down to freezing and have not got the uq to fit right yet. I moved the bars down to the loop on the suspension curve which brought them in about an inch or so. This aligns them more with the cut where the curve ends. With the mini dog bones still in place the triangles are 34.5" and it is hanging really nice. Need to get a night or two in it and then work on the end caps if all goes well.

    Well I have spent 2 nights in it and while it is comfortable I am still getting knee extension. The fabric is tight around my ankle calf area then loose at the knees, any ideas? Also my DIY under quilt is just not fitting my back and shoulders keep getting really cold even in not so cold outside.

    Im a little late to the party, just doing some research and thought Id chime in.

    I think you are experiencing what you are is because the fabric is stretching. You may have been better suited to go with a heavier fabric or done a double layer.
