    DIY Karo Baffle Top Quilt in Multicam

    Just finished my first DIY Top Quilt Project. 1.5 Multicam Epsilon on the outside, Argon 67 on the inside, and filled with 16 oz of 950 FP treated down. Baffles are 3" and I'm thinking it will get me down to at least 5-10 Degrees if not farther. Can't wait to get it out for a test. I am finishing up a video that I made while completing the project so others that are thinking about tackling one of these can benefit from my experience. I'll post it as soon as I finish editing it.

    That is a fantastic job. Did you put baffles in the footbox. It doesn't look like it but that thing looks so stuffed it doesn't look like you have to.

    Seriously that is a nice job.

    Dutch, yes I did. Thanks for the compliment. Thanks for supplying the Argon 67! Here's a pic of the baffle layout. G-Nut

    Wow did that thing ever puff up. Like Shug says, "that's one big barrel of warmth". Absolutely beautiful.
    We heard it was gonna rain, we came anyway...

    Very nice job Grapenut. You've inspired me to dust off my sewing machine.
