My aunt (who I am hiking with in a month) is a master quilter - it's what she does for a business. I would like to hire her to make me a super lightweight, packable backpacking quilt for use in to 30-50 degree range.
What kind of materials would be best suited to this, and where do I go to buythem? Pros-n-cons of ripstop nylons vs silnylon vs cuben and different fill materials - down vs synthetics? Are there pre-made sewing patterns out there? I was thinking an interlocking hexagon quilt patern would be strong and allow for decent quilt thickness?
Or point me to a thread where this has clearly already been established and I'm just being a tosser...
