Would this plan that I used for my insultex UQ work for a down UQ, minus middle layer of course?

Somewhat. Your going to have around 8 to 10 chambers, so if your going to dart, you'll have more darts. But the overall sizing isn't bad.

To be honest, I've never darted my uqs. Here is a thread that Bloomgorge did of his uq. He has a pdf of his steps. He did add darts to his. This may help some. To be fair though, he has stopped using darts also.

Here are a couple that will help with baffles and making down quilts.

I have looked at both of these numerous times but unless I'm missing something aren't both of these for a TQ? I understand the basics of sewing the baffles but isn't there a lot of difference in design for a UQ so it doesn't flatten the loft when wrapped around hammock? Am I over thinking this?

Here's my thread about my DIY underquilt. Hope it helps...
