Customer Project: 15 degree Under-quilt

After months of saving and research, I've finally made my first down under-quilt, and just in time for the cold winter too! I pretty much followed the detailed instructions of the under-quilt design from http://www.instructables.com/id/Down-Hammock-Underquilt-Ultralight-20F/ . At the end, the quilt weighed a little over a pound and a half with a temperature rating of around 15*F. I even had enough material left over to make a few stuff sacks and a compression bag. Total time, including down stuffing time, was about 30 hours of work.

As for the materials I purchased, they are all of HIGH quality and at very reasonable prices (pretty much unbeatable from what I found).
Using the Excel Spreadsheet found in the link attached, I calculated the dimension of the quilt and the required materials. Following the directions from the link, I cut and stitched the fabric until the under-quilt is formed. Then, after a couple of hours of down stuffing, the under-quilt is finished!
Required Materials:
- 1.1 oz Ripstop Nylon - Olive Brown / Calendered (3-yards),
- oz HyperD nylon - Burnt Orange / Calendered (3-yards),
- 0.9 oz Noseeum mesh - Black (3-yards),
- MIL-SPEC Nylon Grosgrain Ribbon - 3/8" / Black, (1-section),
- Shock cord - Black / 1/8" (1-section),
- Mini cordlock (1-pack),
- Gutermann MARA 70 thread - Olive Brown (1-spool).
