This will be my second top quilt build and I can already feel my experience is helping.
Planning was far easier.
I have learned many lessons and have made ALL the marks for cuts and lines for baffles all at once from the get go!
Using a laser level as a guide - and a straight edge and some white soap to mark - it's gonna be far easier this time around!
This is gonna be a TQ for my local best bud - 2.5 inches of loft - 90 argon inner and outer shell - he wanted the outer shell black and inner blue.
Final dimensions will be 86 long and 49 wide, he wanted a non sewed footbox so doing it with the Velcro and cord channel and a Kam snap exactly like my JRB TQ.
No taper in the build.
10% as I recall overstuff - just under an ounce per baffle (longitudinal baffles) - each baffle is 3.5 inches wide forming 14 of them with the side two of them will taper off so will get a bit less down in those.
Just finished marking off all the marks for baffle placement to tonight and made raw cut - which is 92 x 55 which gives a 3 inch seam allowance for a 1 inch roll hem on all sides.
