Worked on my daughters quilts today. Used the green mil sleep system bag as the base. Trimmed and edges finished with ribbon.
First up the underquilt. First attempt was leaving the foot box intact. No good. Split that and came up with this. Using a line and Prussic for tension. Added some bungee to the head to bunch it up after this pic.
Trimmed the over quilt to fit her better. Cut the length and trimmed the edges. Left the foot box intact. The pic is without the edges finished.
Both quilts and stuff sack come in at about 3.2 lbs and should be good to 30 degrees.
I already have a PLUQ for my under quilt and I’ll be building a top quilt soon. I’m expecting my system to be even lighter. But I sleep warmer than she does.
