Eddie Bauer down throws at Sam's Club.

The Sam's Bauer quilt is duller and smaller and flatter, pics of both sides as draped over a hammock stand.

I apologize for the sideways pics. I've tried uploading different ways and get the same result. I'll dive into learning about that today!

I've also found that they are very static-y. Although maybe my cottage UQ is as well, and it's just never seen my living room floor during a DIY process. That said, hopefully the only time my top quilt touches the ground in its lifetime is when I'm making it!

Haha, yeah. As it is, I can't keep mine on my body while using it as a blanket, it slides to the (dirty) floor over and over.

That's pretty cool, I mean warm, I mean...
You know what I mean.

I used 2 of the EB down throws for a double layer UQ. I ripped the horizontal stitching making the baffles run lengthwise. I Trimmed one baffle off of the inner quilt to make draft collars and to offset the 2 layers seams. Outer quilt is attached by snaps so it could be removed if needed. I've compared the warmth with my 6oz climashield quilt and the down throws seem to warm up faster. I would rate this quilt to the 30*-40*F.

How much are they running? Cost wise?

My Sam's club has them marked down to less that $10. Worth experimenting for that price.

I haven't looked at my gear setup all summer.
I finally got the chance to go out with my son's Boy Scout troop a few weeks ago.
I used a 40° UG and put one of these throws between the UQ and the hammock.
No clue if it added any warmth but I don't think it hurt.
Ideas?

I made a 50* UQ from one of these Eddie Bauer throws (overstuffed with excess down from a partial Costco throw I had lying around). I’ve stacked that with a 20* HG Incubator to good effect.

First step is ripping out half of your seams, to free any down trapped under the threads and give it room to loft.
