Default Show me your Quilted Jackets, please

I saw a jacket at a quilt shop I was at. It was done kind of like a crazy quilt in pastels and used all sorts of machine decorative stitches.

I had in my head to make one. I just can't remember if the edges were turned under or if they were raw. I also am not sure I trust myself to lay out the fabrics appropriately.

I thought about just doing 2 1/2 inch squares. I have the jacket pattern I am going to use. I have some Quilters Dream Poly batting I bought to try for this. I know it is common to use a sweatshirt but it is simpler to me to make it from scratch. I think the effect will be pretty much the same.

Have you done one? Do you have a picture or can you link me to a picture. I just want to SEE some before I proceed.

Thanks for your help!

Mary
