Step 22Keep adding lengths till you get to the eaves
Now you need to decide how you are going to handle the eaves.
The instructions tell you to fasten the quilt to the wallplate. The design of my roof made this virtually impossible. Instead I made little trays, nailed the quilt to them, and slid them into the eaves.
You'll have to adapt to the conditions in your loft. Just make sure:
i) that the insulation goes right over the outside wall
ii) that you leave an airspace between the roof felt and the quilt - otherwise you'll get condensation
