    Input on new hammocks and a summer quilt

    So I am now the proud owner of 25 yards of 1.1 oz digital camo rip stop.
    Going to make a couple of hammocks.

    Thinking one a nano type, probably 4'x9'.
    The other probably 5' x 11'

    I would like to be able to use either with pads between two layers or as a single layer so should I just build 2 of each tie them together at the ends, or just build 2 double layer hammocks plus one SUL single layer.

    Also have some M90 and climasheild just sitting here.

    Would you build a closed foot box quilt or a drawstring foot box.

    This is a summer quilt, but I will be building a winter quilt soon.

    Thanks

    Open/drawstring foot box for the summer quilt and closed for the winter quilt. I have one of each in climashield. With my drawstring quilt, you can really feel the cooler air coming in. I made this quilt except with 5 oz climashield . . . nice and warm. Oh, and no grosgrain. I used the turn-it-inside-out method.
