Integrated Under Quilt

I have a WBBB double layer hammock and I was thinking of integrating my under quilt by using the outside layer of the hammock as one side of the quilt. I plane to use Momentum 50 as the underside. I’m going to do sew through with about a 2 in differential cut to avoid compressing the down. Fill will be 900 fill down from Thru Hiker 6 oz. This should give me 1.5 in of loft in 8 chambers. Easy 40* or lower. With the 2.5 oz. for the Momentum it adds about 8.5 oz. to the weight of the Hammock.
I see this as an advantage in that you.
1. Avoid shifting
2 Cuts the weight of the under quilt.
Any comments as to whether this will or won’t work would be greatly appreciated.

Interesting idea! I'm wondering if it might be difficult to vent the uq for when it's really warm out...unless you had another hammock that you use for summer months.
