Some how I managed to sew the glossy side on the outside of my Apex quilt. I'm using Argon 67. Should this matter at all?

Did I actually mess up?

I've done that before. Poor form.
But, really didn't matter.
Maybe with down, shiny side in would reduce down leakage?
The DWR might work better done correctly??? But small effect?
Good to know. I tested a scrap piece and dwr seemed fine on both sides.
And for the life of me I can't figure out how to sew the foot box together without sewing it to the other side of the quilt. What am I missing!!!!
I figured it out. Have almost everything done. Just have to finish off the top with a draw sting and it'll be good. I might had made it a inch or two short, but I think it should work good still since I'm going to be in a Bivy. I'll make my shoulder season quilt a few inchs longer.
Edit:
Also just weighed it. 9.8oz in a .6oz stuff sack! That's including the stuff sack weight! Packs smaller than my 40f down quilt. I really can't see how this is going to keep me warm to 50f, but I'll cross my fingers. :P
I made a couple of 2.5 apex quilts. They keep me warm to 50 but really no further. I don't get to take them out much in Montana but used it for about a month on the AT. I will bring it along early season to add warmth to my 20 degree on weekend hikes.
Can't wait to see some pictures.
I've sewn M50 the wrong way as black is horribly difficult to tell which is which.
Ayce puts a tag on it when you get it but that doesn't last.
The shinny side of M50 collects ten times more dirt and dust than the other.
Hope it isn't the same with the Argon.
