Sizing overquilt over existing Golite Ultra 20 – any tips?

[Brendan Mulholland]

Hi – I’m looking to make an overquilt out of apex 2.5 to extend the range of my Golite Ultra 20 (long).  Any advice on dimensions to make sure that I don’t restrict the golite quilt?  The Golite is 57″ at the shoulders, 47″ at the hips and 40″ at the feet.  I completely fill this quilt with a midweight down jacket on so I’d like to be on the safe side with the overquilt to give plenty of room.

M50 comes in 60″x36″ yards, am I going to be too tight at 59″ (60 minus 1″ seam allowance) on the overquilt?

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Cheers,

Brendan
