Finished my Argon90 down summer quilt

**doogie** · 06-19-2015, 06:22

I had some extra down from some other projects and decided to make a summer weight top quilt. I purchased the Argon 90 fabric and pre-cut no-see-um baffle material from Dutch. I really love the feel of this, really nice when you are wearing next to nothing when sleeping in the summer. Here is a video of most of the steps during construction.

Thanks, I got a new video editing software for my birthday and this was my first real use of it.

Very complete video doogie. This may just give me the confidence to try a down quilt. I had it in my mind how to do the baffles but never really saw a good video to show it. The tape guide/fabric hold is a great idea also. I hate to pin unless I really need to.

What size of rolled hem foot do you find is most universal for projects, they aren't real cheap?

Thanks so much for sharing.

Great vid Doogie, I bet that is more than a summer quilt.

Well done Doogie, but I thought you knew green was my favorite quilt color? Now you will have to redo it in green!

Also, nice job with the editing, which software did you get?

Thanks, I wanted something bright for summer, and the blue really brings out my eyes

The software is Magix Movie Edit Pro. My daughter picked it out, it's definitely a lot better than Windows Movie Maker.

Thanks, for the complement and the supplies (including the extra 6" of fabric). I tend to sleep warm, so we'll see how low it will take me. I normally use my 20 degree 3/4 WL underquilt and just intentionally leave gaps, so I think the 2 will give me a large range of comfort.

Doogie... Thanks for sharing this great 'how-to'. I was trying to figure out how to create the baffles and your example is much appreciated. Now I need to order some fabric...
