    Well I (with my a lot of help from wife) finished my underquilt.Thanks to sclittlfield for pattern and others of you who helped clarify things for us. We made mine 50" X 7' Tried it out last night my bottom stayed warm. As a newbie It was a learning experience I need a better top quilt or sleeping bag it got down to 12 degrees and I was starting to get cold after 5 hrs so when I got up to relieve myself I called it quits. I'll keep trying to improve Thanks everybody for your input.

    Wow Kodiak! I am impressed how low (temp) you achieved!!!! Even though you got cold that's impressive.

    Did you stick w/3 layers? What is the weight? Great work 0 it looks nice and obviously performs.

    Yes funny money we stayed with 3 layer also had some foam wrap that I brought home from work that I laid on the bottom of my hammock. as far as weight goes I am not sure. Plan on using the UQ more in the colder weather so if there is snow on the ground I'll pull it in my pulk if I figure out the weight I;ll let you know.

    Just wanted to report back on this. Took my UQ down to 8 degrees and was very comfy. I added a very thin/cheap (little more than a couple layers of an emergency blanket)windshield screen between the uq and hammock. Also had a cut down torso size Walmart Blue pad (Waffle pattern style) directly under me. I was very comfy and warm. Only condensation issues I had were from my breath on my overcover. Couldn't be happier with this thing.

    I am making an UQ for my son and have never actually seen one myself. When running the shock cord through the long sides, do you also run through one of the short ends to get from one long channel to other?

    No, the shock cord for suspension of the quilt only goes through the long sides, there will be separate lengths of shock cord in the end to "cinch" the quilt up on the gathered ends of the hammock. Clear as mud right? Here is an illustrated guide for this IX quilt that helped me.

    Anybody have thoughts on creating a permanent UQ instead of a removable? I have a HH Exped Asym and think that if I sew a full size layer (like the pockets on a Clark) on the bottom, using the template/instructions here I could make a permanent UQ. Or even set it up so the IX can be removed for warm weather.
    i totally take back all those times i didn't want to nap when i was a kid

    That's an interesting idea. You would definitely get a great seal going that route, no fiddle factor on the underquilt suspension. Let us know if you do it.
