Today or tomorrow I'm going to order the thru-hiker quilt kit + the extra 3oz of insulation and make myself a 20 degree winter quilt + balaclava.

I've read/skimmed and bookmarked quite of few of the MYOG quilt threads, but I have a question I haven't seen answer yet; I want to make my quilt Arc shaped. I have a Nunatak Specialist to use as a model,and a girlfriend who can help me approximate the pattern and teach me how to sew.(or does a pattern exist out there already?)

How, though, do I determine how much down to put in each baffle, as they'll be different lengths?

I'm shooting for 12oz or so of fill in the quilt with 2-3 in the balaclava, depending on how much I lose stuffing the quilt.
