So im starting the 4th of my collection of DIY TQ's and UQ's. Must say they improve with each one i do. Im going to use momentum in this project being a winter TQ need to save weight wherever possible. I know one side i will do the jet black color but trying to decide on the other, and cant get a good enough guage of the colors on thru hiker. Does anyone have some close ups or more pics of some momentum fabric. Like the grey green or the infamious coyote brown?

I've got pics of my grey-green Karo step top quilt in my gallery. Even in the high res pics it's still kind of hard to see the color, though.

I'm so jealous of you guys that have the patience to sew.
A while back I made a hefty down winter TQ with momentum, but it is in red & black. GREAT fabric. Its lighter and feels better against the skin than sil-nylon. You will not regret using it.
I have jet black and slate grey coming in for a summer quilt I am making. Could show you the grey in a few.

Cool, show me some pics when you get the fabric. Is there any other place to get momentum than thru-hiker????????
The only 2 I have seen that carries the momentum name is thru hiker and Mountain Laurel Design. TiGoat carries a strikingly similar fabric called Intrepid and Outdoor Wilderness Fabric has carried a 20D fabric also.

I just placed an order for some Black Taffeta (softest, best used for liners), Royal Blue NR, and Evergreen NR from Thru-hiker. I can post some pics when they arrive, but I would call them up and ask for some pics. When I did, I was directed to some photos from their projects gallery and told which ones were with which fabrics. Excellent timing too since Thru-hiker just knocked almost 30% off the cost of both Taffeta and NR Momentum.

Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can.
Pursuing it with eager feet
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say."

Yes, from what I've been told the .9oz. that OWF sells is the same as Momentum 90.
Thru-Hiker also has a limited supply of the new M55 which weighs .75oz.
TiGoat has a new SevenD fabric which weighs .645oz., pretty pricey though.
