That makes sense. My mom has been offering to teach me, so I definitely should.

I eventually want to make an FKT-style quilt for summer, that's maybe rated 50* with a 30* footbox. Something light that I could stretch slightly lower by layering clothes.

I've been cooking in my 20* quilt this summer.

that’d be a great first project, based on what i can tell apex-sandwich quilts are pretty straight-forward. exactly how the differential insulation is secure i’m less sure, but you could probably just cut it and tape it :)
