    High-End Quilt Fabrics

    I'm thinking about making myself a custom quilt. Something shaped to the way I sleep in my WBBB. I'm thinking if I make it myself, I'd like to make it out of something exotic, that puts it above the typical DIY fair. Maybe some eVent material or something.

    Any thoughts or suggestions on what's available for us mere mortal DIY guys, besides Momentum?

    I have looked for Event material and came up empty handed. Let me know it you have a source.

    No, I was hoping someone else might know find some. Hell, even if it were a 1000 yard roll, it might be worth investing and re-selling here in the forums.

    Feathered Friends gets it for their gear, so someones got to be selling it.

    I recently picked up an REI rain jacket, and I can't get over how well eVent works.

    1000 yard roll of Event would be one heck of an investment. I would buy a bunch though.

    I have been looking for Event too. I read in a couple of places that it is sold by the metre, but the owners stipulate that it can't be advertised as Event, a few phone calls may turn some up. The company who owns event has just been sold to new owners (a rich seikh) , nd this policy could change.

    I just found this site selling Gore-tex, sympatex etc..
