I am ashamed to say that i don't remember who it is...but there is someone here on this Board that posts pictures of the most beautiful quilted jackets that she makes.....I will keep looking to see if i can find her.

Found her....check out posts/threads by Sharoncignoni. Her jackets are beautiful - so she could surely offer guidance.

I just finished a bargello jacket from http://www.figureflatteringquiltwear.com/. I wanted a collar so I added one.

None of these jackets are sweatshirt based. 2 of them have W & N preshrunk batting & 1 has preshrunk flannel

Just get an ordinary jacket pattern and substitute the material with your quilted blocks or quilting fabric. I have made several like that. It is easiest to cut out the whole pattern using flannel material (or plain cotton) and then attach your pieces to the flannel. That way you can quilt each oanel before sewing the complete jacket together. Then finish the edges with binding in the same way that you do a quilt. I have also made a jacket from a quilt that I made but never used. Good luck with your project.

Try QuiltersWarehouse.com and look for the quilted closet. I made one of Elaine's jackets. It was a block of the month kind of thing. After that you cut each piece and assembled the jacket. Also you might try Kaye Woods for jackets.

Wow -- thank you for this. I have always avoided making a quilted jacket because all I have seen are way too boxy and unflattering. This site has patterns that would appear to avoid that and create lovely, more fitted garments.
