Just completed my Apex 2.5 top quilt, weighing in around 14oz give or take.
I used 1.1 ripstop seconds for the shell and 5 momme habotai silk dyed grey for the lining.
The quilt has loops with snap fasteners around the perimeter and drawcord along the bottom and top for different closure options.
Very happy with the effort and as with everything after the learning curve the next attempt should be better.
I really like the silk but it was hard to work with and any tips on layout and cutting such light fabric would be appreciated. The dying process was not perfect.....a little tie dye effect but I don't mind.
The warmth rating of this hopefully should cover me for most of my fair weather hammocking and any adventure travelling that I might do.
Appreciate the feedback.
Thanks.
