Friends and family will then be jealous of your work and demand you make one for them too!

I like the idea. Your site mentions harvesting down from old garments, etc., which I have. But my BIG question is, how do I know the fill-rating and thus how many ounces to put into the baffles. Can you help with ideas, hints, answers?

I don't want to end up with a heavy underquilt, nor one that doesn't keep me warm.

If you go to the "Finishing The Underquilt Shell" section on my site, the info is at the bottom of the page.
