Underquilt progress

**Medic08** · 01-11-2024, 21:14

So I'm finally mostly done with my hammock underquilt. Just a rundown on what it is. Top and bottom fabric are 1.1 Ion from Dutch. The main body has 12 tubes that are 4" wide with 4" of loft space. Each tube has 1.3 oz of 850fp goose down from loose goose. I then put draft collars on each end that are 10" of fabric folded in half to make the tube. They have 1oz of the same down. I have my primary suspension on. I am thinking secondary suspension. Not sure if I want to put the shock cord on the very outside or run it between the draft collars and the main body. What do yall think?

Yes, bravo, a massive DIY project.

And where to place secondary suspension shock cords….look at best under quilts and place your shock cord in similar manner and location.

This is coming from Phantom, a kid that admits to copying a classmates test answers only once or twice.

But in all things hammock, it’s a good idea to “knock off” or copy good design that has a proven track record. As they say…wisdom of the herd
