    DIY Summer Snivler

    Thanks to Stormcrow's down sale here is my first DIY quilt. A summer weight wearable No Snivler clone. Measures 47 x 72 and is baffled 1 inch. Weighs in at about 15 ounces. A unique feature is that the head hole is offset from the center by 4 inches so that the back side is longer. Made from Wally World $1.50 fabric.

    Looks good. Did you have much trouble with the head hole?

    Not too bad. Here is how. Really no worse than another baffle.

    Makes you look pretty Sam. You made that pretty fast, only opened Storm's box to look at the down so far. I love my diy no sniv and show it off whenever possible. You should bring it to the winter hang.

    Nice work,
    Predictions are risky, especially when it comes to the future.
