I've found that making my own top & under quilts to be very rewarding. By doing this yourself, you can custom fit them to YOU!! Widths and lengths, whatever color you like, type of insulation(down or climashield) weights (summer or winter) over stuffed, even the rating of the down plays a big part in the quilt. These are the things that cause hammock quilts to cost so much, oh yea and the labor to make them. When you buy a quilt, all those things are into the price. Plus there's the testing. You will be doing the testing of your design if you make one. But buying one, someone else has gone through a lot of trouble to try and make something that will work for your hammock. (just to give you some idea of why they cost so much). Get yourself a large cup of coffee (or beverage of your choice!!) and start reading the DIY posts here. Lots of links to where to buy materials too.
