Haven't had a lot of time to be on the boards recently, but figured I show my recent projects.
I did a summer sew through TQ basically like this http://www.lytw8.com/My_Gear.html#LytW8_Summer_Quilt but with adjustments for my height, and I like to pull the cover over my head. I cut it to be the same size as my other TQ that used that design but had baffles. It ended up being 73 inches long and 48 at the top tapering to 37.5 at he bottom.
Total weight is 16.9 oz It has 1.5 to 1.75 inches of loft. I used the primaloft thermo, and some .67 sq yd material I got from Titanium Goat. If my recent test are any good this will be good down to 40 at least. I also have enough material to make an UQ to match, I'll make it with baffles and aim at 30/40*
I recently took my other set up down to 23, my feet were cold when I woke up but I stuck them out off the UQ while sleeping, other than that I was toasty. http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=43111
Also I made a beak with some left over 1.1. It does okay, but I need to lay out and measure the sides and try to do better, one long side doesn't like to pull tight in some configurations.
