I just finished a summer TQ. It is 3 layers, DWR ripstop, IX, and fleece. It is sized to also fit on top of a down quilt to extend it's range and reduce the moisture condensing in the down in the extreme cold.
Not a very good picture:

Looks great! I plan on tackling a similar project in the next week, but I'll be using three layers of IX and a fleece lining with a ripstop outer shell. What were the dimensions you used?

Have fun!
Very professional looking work!
Have you considered putting the down quilt on top of the this one?
Possible reasons"
1. This one won't compress as the down quilt will.
2. Most of the overnight moisture in a quilt comes from our bodies, since IX is almost a vapor barrier, it would help keep the most moisture out of the quilt.
3. IX is a decent radiant heat reflector: you always want any reflector portion of your insulation as close to the heat source (our body) as possible.
Just something to ponder ....
