Tomorrow I am making 2 underquilts by modifying a sleeping bag using the instructions from Creative Kayt http://www.youtube.com/user/creative.../0/OWP7dmvTszk

The sleeping bag I have measures 38(folded) by 81. My husband and I are short (5'3" and 5'7") but hefty! We have an eno doublenest and a jacks-r-better bear mountain bridge.

Do you think we would be better off cutting the hammock like she did so that we will have 2 quilts of roughly 38 * 81 or the other way and having quilts of roughly 40 * 76? (I assume wider is better)

Thanks for your thoughts.
