That is sooooo pretty. I think I like the rectangles and squares the best. I might have to try one!
Darn! I just gave away a big sweatshirt that I thought I would never use because it was so big. Maybe I'll look at Goodwill and buy it back :)

Thanks.
This does turn out a fairly heavy and very warm jacket. Page through the messages for several pictures.
Has anyone tried making one uisng a cotton botton under the patches --for a more quilted look?
I used a regular, simple jacket pattern and cut out cotton lining and quilted onto it. Then I sewed the pieces together just like you would when making a jacket out of pre-quilted fabric. It is still quite heavy and warm. Definitely a winter jacket in CA! I will try to attach a picture.
