DIY Quilt

Lauren and I embarked on a journey to make a down quilt.  While researching a new sleeping bag I went down the rabbit hole from synthetic to down, bag to quilt, quilt to holy crap those are expensive!  So we spoke about it and she agreed to help me by basically doing all the hard work, the sewing.  I did some research and ended up with a shipment of 850 down and nylon for about $180.  I decided to go with 2.5″ baffles to make an estimated 20* quilt.  It took 10 hours over the course of a few days.  We probably wasted 3 ours the first day just laying it out, a few times before actually cutting the first half of the shell.  It turned out great!  She did an awesome job sewing it and dealing with me watching.  I can’t wait to test it out!
