Update Quilted Jacket Dilemma
Thank you everyone for your thoughtful consideration. I decided to make a band using the various fabrics and will attach all the way around front openings & neck/back. I was going to use an applique on the back but I think this jacket was a learning exercise and I'll wait to create a jacket using a pattern. This one is going to be a bit bulky in the top front.
The links and videos are really helpful and I'll probably make one more like those in the future.
