Need a quilt design

So I want to try and make a quilt. I'm going to use climashield apex from thru-hiker. Any suggestions on were to get good patterns or designs? I know I want a long to pull up around my head and a decent foot box. It will probably be a 20 degree or so quilt is what I'm thinking.

There are several quilt designs on the Make your own gear section of this site. Hopefully one will meet your needs.

The climashield part didn't click.

A kit from Ray Way comes with all materials and instructions, and even a doof with two left hands (me) can make a quilt with it.

So I'm thinking 5oz climashield APEX from thru-hiker. That looks like a 30F quilt. Anyone have any experience with that?

Also, I'm wondering drawstring footbox with omni-tape or sewn? I don't think I'll be taking this winter camping but pretty much any other time it will be the go to sleeping accomodations.

I used climashield 5 oz and 2.5 oz for my quilt. I was shooting for 20F. It has gone down that far and was warm. I don't know if I overshot or not, just that it at least goes that far.

Also, I didn't use APEX, it was the stuff that thruhiker had before APEX.

Thru-Hiker has, I believe, a quilt pattern or kit. They also are very happy to answer questions about their products--I've ordered a few things from them.
