My first DIY UQ and TQ

[flying_bobo]

I’ve been really busy and been having a blast at this! Since joining the forums, I’ve been reading all I can and watching everyone’s gear making videos, eyeballing pics of other completed DIY. I’ve asked questions and thank everyone for their responses it was a big help!
I used the down educator to inject my down, LOL it educated the heck out a me. My wife wants a down comforter now but says I can no longer stuff down in the house. Those educators are wonderful until they get clogged or if you accidentally move the injector end up against the shell then, WATCH OUT! I had down all over the place. Once I was educated on the educator I quickly recovered the down.
My wife made me crawl around with tape till every last little ghost turd and down was recovered!

The TQ is made of 1.1 black from quest and kg-8d from titanium goat, with a cord locks and shock cord from DIYgearsupply. 3.5 baffles made from Joann’s tulle.
Finished dimensions are:
70” long
46 “head end
38” foot end
6” draft stoppers
16 oz 800 fp down from downlite
My wife loves this TQ!

Those look great man!

I hope you have some cold weather hanging in your future!

They should be good zero degree quilts.
