Background to question: I am making a new, full-length underquilt for my home hammock using pretty much whatever materials I can find around the house: An old thin comforter for the inner shell, a piece of 1.1 nylon for the outer shell and a combination of a fleece throw and a single-layer piece of Insultex for the inner insulation. It will need to be comfy down to around 60 degrees.
It will measure about 45 inches wide and about 73 to 75 long. I may taper it near each end. Will most likely not use full shock cord channel. I think I have enough linelocs for the suspension from each corner.
How much, if any differential cut should I use? Compression of insulation is probably not much of an issue, but I do want a nice fit to my hammock.
thanks much, Country Roads in WV
