Of the 20+ quilts I’ve made, not a single one has been the same design.
I have to admit that some have not been the best design or at least not the greatest way of making the quilt. However, pushing boundaries and designs into something that does work very well is what I’m after and there are some things I’ve learned that are even better than what mainstream uses.
I have been trying to figure a better approach to a wearable quilt for a year or so. I just made a standard wearable with head hole in the middle for someone and it got the ball rolling for my design.
So this is more of a bag as you slide into and it is encoded up to your armpits. Your arms do not go in this part thought.
The bag separates around the armpits and snaps together on top of your shoulders. And of course the arms are attached like that of a jacket. I’ll have the arms extended about 4″ past the hands and leave it open with a drawcord. I can just pull the sleeves to my wrist and tighten the draw cord for it to be worn.
The bottom will also be closed with a draw cord so it can be pulled up and be worn.
On top of all of this, will be a detachable 2.5 ounce climashield layer (with just a fabric layer on the top). Looking at having the bag be rated for 35* without the climashield.
If all goes well, this would be the bag/ quilt (whatever it is) I use for my PCT hike.
I’ll get some pictures up once I get it into the later stages of being made.
