I'm making a regular sewn thru TQ today
Was thinking IF -- once it is at this stage in image below
if putting another piece of material on top like a kangaroo pouch
then making another sewn thru quilt - perhaps with 1" - 1.5" loft
where as the main one is 1.5" - 2" loft
it can become a interchangeable 3-season to winter quilt
Has anyone tried this?
If not - does it sound like it would work & give the extra warmth??
Borrowed Te-Wa's image
or possibly adding IX material in the pouch
PS. the footbox I am making it a draw string - not permanently closed
it might work since your down south...
i would add a fleece liner ...that should get you down to 30 degrees
the problem with sewn through quilts is you get cold air through your stitch lines...
i would just makea baffled quilt...there easy to do...to be honest i think there easier then a sewn through quilt
It puts the Underquilt on it's hammock ... It does this whenever it gets cold
I agree. After making both my TQ & UQ, the baffles on the UQ were actually easier than doing the sewn through on my TQ. I found the ripstop had a tendency to want to slide like ice when I sewed it.Originally Posted by greenlespaul
