They are fun to make and I really enjoy wearing mine - so much so that I have purchased 2 more that are sitting on the shelf waiting for me to get time to make them up. I want a fall one and a holiday one.

Some of my friends though don't like theirs as they fully quilted the sleeves (we live in central FL). Our rec centers are heavily air conditioned and I like to wear them there but several of the ladies commented that they were over heating in theirs and that the sleeves were too heavy and warm. You'll notice that I only did a little quilting on my sleeves and left the majority of the sleeve natural sweatshirt so it would breathe and I'm so glad I did them that way. If you live in the north, the quilted sleeves may be just fine. Just thought I'd mention that.
