nice quilt. Now comes the stupid question. How do you know how much down to use. I would have poured it all on there..lol

That's really nice Arkwater. I like the colors you used. What's the loft on that quilt?
GREAT looking project. How well does it drape?

IMPOSSIBLE JUST TAKES LONGER
Very nice. The green fabric is 1.1 nylon with a chemical DWR and the charcoal is 1.5 oz poly ripstop. Both have a very soft hand much like silk.
I was shooting for 3 inches, but the down that was supposed to be 750 seems more like 800. I can consistently measure 3.25 inches. I am very pleased with the quality of the down. It has a lot less feathers than the 900fp stuff I used in the red quilt. I used 450 grams (32 per baffle), and I have at least 500 left. There was only supposed to be 900 in the box.
nice- overchanging, not shortchanging.
How did you manage the down?
