After many months, I finally finished the down quilt I've been working on, back in April I was hoping to finish it for the WRT
.
It weights 415g, 100g for the shell with 315g of down.
I'm hoping it will take me down to around 0° but I don't know for sure yet.
I will adjust the sizing a bit on my next one, making it a bit wider at the hips and a bit narrower at the shoulders.

That looks excellent. Stitch-through or baffles?

100 g for the shell... good job.
Seems to have been worth every swearing minute behind the sewing machine.
Fabric?

I thought it'd be worse... more swearing behind the machine, which is a very decent one... as my mum tends to say, a bad workman blames his tools...

Nice job...add a YKK #3 zipper to that and an elastic draw string around the neck and you're pretty close to my Zpacks 0 degree bag which doubles as a quilt.
