My First UQ

[Knotty]

None, this was my first except for alcohol stoves.

Amazing! Talk about jumping in head first.

That looks amazing, you should be very proud

what's the mesh fabric that your baffle partitions are made of?

I used nanoseeum from thru hiker for the baffles.

Thanks for all the comments, all you guys on the forum make it easy with all your knowledge and support!

I love to see my goose down go to a good place. And my friend, that is a great looking place! . Great work on that quilt!

That white stuff you sell is addictive! I will have to make a down TQ before next winter.

Wow that's some project to take on! VERY NICE!! Let us know how wonderful it is when you get to use it so we can all be part of the envy!

Planning on an overnighter on the AT on Good Friday so that will be my first time to try it out.

about how much did all the supplies cost? and how much time do you estimate you put into it?

I've only got about $100.00 in materials. Not sure about the time, I only spent a couple hours a week after work and longer on saturday so probably less than 20 hrs. A lot of those hours were spent deciding which way to do this or that. The main thing to remember is not to push yourself or you will start making mistakes and cost yourself more $.

seriously! I've been working on my tarp the last week or so --- and I've sat there for a good half hour at times contemplating the best way to various things on it, haha.

100 bucks is an excellent price for such a fine looking quilt! Once again, excellent work
