I have recently moved to a hammock. While a pad is sufficient for the cold, I feel it vastly decreases the comfort which could otherwise be afforded by a hammock. I would like to try out an UQ.

I will be working with a Costco Down Blanket (found one in my closet which was somehow never turned into a top quilt!).

After spending some time searching the internet, it seems the Costco quilts have been modified far and wide to varying degrees of effectiveness.

What is the simplest, warmest, lightest (obviously as a compromise) option out there?

I am comfortable with sewing but would like to have some framework or tutorial to follow as I am still relatively new.

So far my best "plan" is to just seam-rip the horizontal baffles and probably sewing a new seam to shorten / better concentrate the down.. once again, looking for greatest return on work!

Any tips / tutorials / suggestions would be much appreciated!
