Well after a couple weeks on here and purchasing a top quilt I went to bed bath and beyond and purchased some down throws to try my sewing skills. My plan is to take the two throws and Remove the lateral stitching. After I do that I will put no see um down and create baffles for the Down I have extracted from a coat. Than sew either another throw to the back or use some ripstop to see to the back/bottom of the uq. I started last night.
First I took a square column off the entire throw.
Finally got around to finishing pulling the stitches. Here is a picture. Now I am going to sew up my ripstop to the right width and than sew on the baffles.
Sweet! Looks good. You get better with each build.

I sew things on youtube.
I don’t sew on commission, so please don’t ask. Thanks.
Are you going to double them up with baffles inbetween?
Yes I am. I cut the inner one down by 3 columns. The inner portion I did not remove the stitchings but added the baffles so that I can add down. All said and done I should get 3-4" of loft.Originally Posted by Pra4sno

Got it!
So you will have the loft from both quilts by themselves and then you are adding down to the baffles between both quilt layers?
Yup that's my plan. I am hoping with that design to get down to 20 F. I am going to add about an ounce to each tube.

I am almost done with the baffles and than I will add the suspension channels, stuff with down and than test it out. I am hoping to come in at around 23 oz but we will see. Pictures below.
