Advice on making under quilt (under blanket)

[rktodd]

I did a search but found nothing, so here's my question.

Has anyone made an under quilt out of a fleece blanket? I need info on what shape to cut the fabric. The sides of my 3 season Yeti are curved, or canoe shaped. Would this work on fleece, or should it be cut with parallel sides?

I plan to sew channels down each side and use shock cord for attachment to my WBBB XLC. I also thought I would make it pretty much full length, around 6 feet.

I have a fleece blanket that is big enough to make a under blanket plus a top blanket. This is of course, for summer camping. Hoping it will get me down to around 55º to 60º.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I made a TQ out of two layers of fleece and a layer of mystery non-breathable fabric. It works so great, we use it on our bed at home. Here's the build thread for it. Maybe it'll get the ideas a flowin' for you.
