    First Quilt Project

    Just wanted to show off my first project with Down. I've made a hammock and a couple of simple backpacks, but this is by far the biggest (and most expensive)project me and my sewing machine have tackled.

    Fabric is 0.66 oz 10D Nylon Tafetta from Ripstop by the Roll. The baffle material is from them, too. I bought a pound of down (800fp, with wr treatment) from downlinens.com. 11+ ounces went into the top quilt, 4+ into the UQ.

    Final Weight for Top Quilt: 16oz.

    I already can't wait to start the next one!

    looks great! Always wanted to make one but just decided to buy one instead, I'm not good with fabrics or sewing machines.
