I did a down underquilt as my first project, following Gidgetgirl's instructions, and nealt900's ingredients. It turned out great. I had some experience with a sewing machine up to this point.
Some things I would do differently? 1. Measure the down more carefully rather than count handfuls. 2. Use the baffle-material-over-vacuum to pickup down, and deposit using the extension (no link to this but I'm sure you have the idea). 3. After completing a topquilt with 15 and enjoying it, I would have sewed more than 9 baffles in the underquilt.
It's definitely achievable. Just take your time.
