<span style=”color: #000000;”>My first top quilt for my hammock. Karo design (and Chevron diagonals inspired by Tacblades). I was shooting for a 30F quilt.

Thread for perimeter: Gutermann Tera 80
Baffle height: 1.5″
Shell( with top cord): 5.5 oz
Down in main section: 12 oz
Footbox: 11″ x 11″ (excluding hem), Weight: 1/2 oz with down
Finished Weight: 18.0 oz
Finished dimensions: 78″ x 52″ x 44″ (excluding hemmed edge)
I used 850 loft goose down from a 2 lb order. I stuffed some into the end of a Christmas wrapping paper tube many times and pushed it out with a pole directly into each of the 24 chambers. Worked well.
I sewed the bottom of the quilt and added the footbox after filling the quilt with down. I thought it would be easier to add the down that way. If I did it again, I might sew the bottom of the quilt and add the footbox before adding the down to the quilt.</span>
