The footbox doesn't quite cinch closed but being a summer quilt or winter booster, I'm not too worried. Total cost $60.
Thanks to Simon for the live consultation!

In my research on top quilts for camping, one vendor said they changed from horizontal to vertical baffling, because with horizontal, the down slips down to the sides when the quilt is over you, so you've got less down actually on top of you. But with vertical baffling, you keep the down on top of you, if you get my meaning.
