The 30° quilt is 18oz. I think the shell was around 5-6oz and I used 12-13oz of down. I have used it to about 26°f and just started to feell like I needed to put more on than the base layer I usually sleep in. No socks ever, I find they make my feet colder than the nice soft down and material.
One of my next DIY projects are down booties.

Looks great! I love the Karo style but I’ve got the straight baffles down and haven’t taken the time to do a karo.

Well done. I have had a project on my to do list for a long time. Happy to see when DIY projects go this well. Congrats!

Just an update all... I had the quilt down to 29deg and was very warm!
Congratulations! I'm contemplating a queen size one for my bed at home. New England winters can get chilly! Dutch's new down alternative could make that an affordable project.
