So, I have a fair amount of Momentum 90 and down left over from my quilt project, and have been pondering how to use it. I like how my quilt turned out so well I'd love to be able to use it down to around freezing if possible (sewn-thru), with the help of my MB UL inner and whatever else is necessary. I figured a pair of down booties would be very helpful in this aim, especially since it seems no matter how warm my body is, my feet seem cold.
Has anyone ever made a pair of these, or have any patterns, hints, etc?

Whala, down booties!
