Asym UQ

My only thought is that you may want more than 3 feet of insulation width, at least at the shoulders, depending of course on your size. I know te-wa and warbonnet both are in the 40 + inches wide range. They also both have some "asymmetry" to their quilts to try to adjust for the diagonal lay. Another thing to think about is that if you use a top quilt it will have to be wide enough to wrap around you and overlap with where the narrower under quilt comes. That is if you have a narrow under quilt you will need a wider over quilt. If you use a sleeping bag then you're are covered, so to speak

I used my TR pad all last summer and it is only 20" wide. 36" may feel like a king size bed. But that is open to experimentation.

tip, get the inner shell to fit well first, then move on to the rest.

I think that will be key!

This is probably the whole crux of the DIY savings myth. The final version may cost less than buying commercial, but the prototyping kills! Just another hobby expense I guess.
