After many months, I finally finished the down quilt I've been working on, back in April I was hoping to finish it for the WRT .



It weights 415g, 100g for the shell with 315g of down.

I'm hoping it will take me down to around 0° but I don't know for sure yet.

I will adjust the sizing a bit on my next one, making it a bit wider at the hips and a bit narrower at the shoulders.

Down - not fun to work with. Good job that man

fantastic effort by the looks of it.

Looks exactly like my ukhammocks one. Good job

That looks excellent. Stitch-through or baffles?

100 g for the shell... good job.
Seems to have been worth every swearing minute behind the sewing machine.
Fabric?

I thought it'd be worse... more swearing behind the machine, which is a very decent one... as my mum tends to say, a bad workman blames his tools...

It's baffled, about 4cm deep.

The fabric is http://www.extremtextil.de/catalog/Rips ... :1974.html with http://www.extremtextil.de/catalog/Cube ... :1853.html for the baffles.

The down was a nightmare to work with, but I did start getting into a flow by the end. This caused me to change from "I'm never making another quilt ever again" into "I wonder how light I could make a summer quilt".

Nice job...add a YKK #3 zipper to that and an elastic draw string around the neck and you're pretty close to my Zpacks 0 degree bag which doubles as a quilt.

Nice job.

Got a pic of it the other way yp (cue some smartar$e ) i.e. showing how far up the foot box extends etc.
