Although this thread is old, maybe someone will see this.
I have had a wool quilt in the back of my mind for about 10 years. My mom had started cutting out wool squares many moons ago. She passed in 1999, and someone took the bag from their house. I am the only quilter in the famil and I was pretty blue that that happened. I sulked over it for a long time. But but but.... last weekend our local Goodwills ran a sale that anything you could fit into their giant bags you could get for 50% off. The light came on and I hit two different Goodwills. I nabbed 14 gorgeous old (but very clean) wool suit coats in various colors. All for under $40. They are sooo heavy...lol
I'm going to ck out the links provided, and see what I can do. To begin with I have to disassemble the jackets, and the added perk is ALL the gorgeous buttons on the suits. I wonder if I can make the double breasted lapels into some sort of crazy suit like prairie points....lol
