Here are the pictures. Made a few Climashield underquilts for moist weather camping. They ended up being ~68"x38". I still have to add the loops/channels to run the suspension cording through but I'm happy with how they turned out.

Cool! Much easier to make a quilt for a bridge style hammock - almost a reason by itself to convert to one.
With Climashield, I take it that tacking is unnecessary? With Primaloft I had to tack my quilts. Not too much of a pain, just tedious.

That's what I've read. It might be worth the time of quilting just so the fabric shell 'stays' with the insulation instead of sometimes billowing out. It's not an issue once it is strung up though. I would definitely try to include my suspension channels/loops in the initial sewing instead of adding them on once the quilt is sewn up.
