So after obsessively reading about DIY insulation here for a few weeks I decided to give making my own UQ a shot. I mostly used Just Jeff's tutorial as a rough guide, but due to inexperience a lot of this was just winging it. I learned SO MUCH making this!
I still feel like my stitching was pretty awful AND you can see that I was an idiot and used a pen to mark the wrong side of the fabric, but am happy overall with how it turned out for being my first major sewing project as I've only made pillow covers, tote bags, etc. before. I was shooting for a 20 degree quilt, but may have overdone it.
