The nylon would be great for several reasons, it holds heat, compacts smaller and is some what water proof and since he camps in the northern woods country close to Canada, I'm thinking the warmth would be an important thing. If a inner muslin fabric was used instead of the normal batting that would also dry quicker and yet give it the "quilted look" that I'm looking to achieve here. I had also thought about using the sports nylon for the quilt blocks as well but I'm not to sure how that would look or if that would be "over kill".
I'm keeping a list of all the suggestions here and from that list I will weight the pros and cons of each idea so I can figure out the "perfect" camp quilt. LOL At least I think I will.
