Where can I get light webbing straps to clip on the edges of my opened WM Megalite bag when I use it as a quilt?

3/4 grossgrain & 3/4 watch buckle. You could sew it in or with a snap on the strap and a snap added to the bag make them less perminant.

quest outfitters has 5/8 watch buckle ,3/4 grossgrain .
the smaller wacth buckle will hold the the straps better.plus they don't charge $2.50 handling charge for orders under $20.00 like outdoor wilderness fabrics does.

3/4 watch buckle works fine with 3/4 gross grain. I use it all the time. Quilt straps aren't under a lot on tension. In fact if they are the buckle will break. Watch buckles aren't very tough from my experience.

Good to know about the fee for small orders. I didn't realize that.

I like 1/2 inch elastic with a "duckbill" of velcro as the fastener. The elastic makes adjustment non-critical. If you want adjustment, a 1X1 square of milk jug plastic with two slots in it will do the job.
