    I'm hoping I can make one that nice! And I would think 30 oz for that size and that much loft would be great! Glad to hear sewing the baffles isn't bad also.

    If you double up the insulation in the footbox, do you need a baffle/quilting along the top edge of the extra insulation or will sewing it on 3 sides be enough to keep it in place?

    That looks awesome! I've been leaning toward the same project. I'm definitely stealing the grossgrain loops to prusiks. I like using soft shackles for my prusiks, so I can attach them to any loop.
