Yay, the muslin is done, the muslin is done. Mum has fixed the wrinkle; the back neck needed to be raised a little at centre back where it met the collar and the muslin has now been pronounced as good as its going to get. I am really pleased since, as Ruthie commented, it was starting to get very frustrating.
Now all I have to do is get my head around drafting the lining and all the interfacing and support pieces... which will have to wait a bit now.
I didn't work on the quilt today at all. I got up and decided to get the decorating over with since I hate the disruption and mess it creates. When I decide something nasty must be done, then it has to be done pretty much now. So I went and got the paint and got stuck in. So now my house reeks of paint, my bed is blocking access to the wardrobe, the dog is sulking because she hates the upset, and I've broken the handle on one of my drawers when I was moving the furniture, but on the upside, I have all the gloss done, both ceilings done, the first coat of emulsion on in the tiny little entrance hall (it will need about six coats as its going from the deep orange that the previous owners clearly thought was cheerful and welcoming, to a more boring, but infinitely more spacious feeling, off white)

Cheers for 'off white' and other light and spacious colours. And wonderful news about the wrinkles going in the muslin.
