Been hammock camping for years but I only discovered the forum last week and it looks to be filled with useful tips so any advice is appreciated. I live in Buffalo and I don't do a ton of camping in the winter but when I do the temps get pretty cold. I currently use a sleeping bag and sleeping pad combo and Im pretty happy with it but I would like to add an UQ to the mix for a little extra warmth. I have very little sewing experience and will be relying heavily on my wife and mother in that department. This is a link to the UQ I would like to try and make:

First off I am going to make it a little larger so its a full length, I'm thinking 78"x48" is pretty standard? My next question is what other types of materials could I use to make the UQ warmer and Lighter. Also if anyone has tried this or a similar UQ and has any design modifications or recommended add ons I'm all ears.
