Yesterday I made up 3 PrimaLoft Gold Topquilts. The PLG had been sitting in
a bin for quite a while. So it was time to finish up the batch. They turned out really well.
Wanted something I could use as a throw, in the trailer or in the hammock so dimensions
were a bit larger. 80"x58" 10D fabric. Weight came out at 20oz which included 2
end channels, and a small 20" zipper for the footbox.

Last night I decided to see how far I could push them. I had been using my own 30° Down
quilts and sweating at 30° so really needed something a bit more inbetween.
Expected low was a 4°C/39°F. PLG is rated at 45°F/7°C. So it dropped even more.
It went down to 2°C/35.6°F. I was pretty warm. I do recall at one point thinking maybe
I could toss the throw overtop (had a spare/in case CDT in the gear loft) however I was
too lazy and simply went back to sleep. This was using my 30°UQ wearing a tshirt and
boxers. If I had wore a base layer I think it wouldn't have even bugged me a bit.

I guess that answers my own question if I should sew up a 40/50° down TQ for myself.
Nope, this thing regulated heat so nice. The extra weight isn't a big deal for what I
will want to use it for. I also think part of the attraction of the PLG is the way it drapes
over the body so nicely compared to CSApex
