    If you decide to dart the center do you cut or do something with the CS or let it bunch up?

    We skipped the darting because of having to dart the Apex too. We did double the Apex around the perimeter. Well pleased with the results. That said, looking forward to your finished product and hanging test results. Good on ya.

    I did not dart the Apex, just didn't feel it was needed after laying out the material. I cut the Apex longer (foot to head) than the fabric and rolled the extra into the top of the quilt. Creating a "draft collar" like on a sleeping bag.

    I'm hoping down in the 30s, maybe 20s. I sleep warm and I'll be in a 20* bag so I should be ok.
