So after seeing Gidgetgirl's very well put together DIY tutorial (found here) I decided to give it a shot. I also utilized Boston's mod on the CatSplat Underquilt Calculator.

I followed Gidgetgirl's lead on building in channels with the inner shell material, instead of going the grosgrain route. All in all I'm ecstatic over how well it turned out, the only thing I might modify is the method of suspension. I May sow a small grosgrain loop near each corner, and hook the return ends of my shock cord to that.

I'll be testing it out in 30~ degree weather next week.
