I am new to this forum for a couple of months now. Since I found you, I have gained sew much inspiration. I am basically a self taught quilter for many years now. A couple of years ago, I started making sweat shirt jackets using the crazy quilt method. Recently, I requested instructions on Izzy's Crumb Blocks. When she sent them, I realized I use the same technique for my jackets. Izzy suggested I post some photos. I am not as accomplished as you folks are on this forum. You are a very talented group. I wasn't happy with the way the black jacket fit, so I knitted a collar, cuffs and a bottom border. Knitting is another passion of mine. I hope I am able to post the photos properly.

Wowzza! Those are great. I think you are quite a seamstress. I have yet to try one of those. I like your knitted touches also. Really makes it look uptown. Glad you joined us and enjoy quilting. This is a fabulous board.

WOW!!! Love your jackets. My mini group will be working on jackets next month. It is a first for me and several others in the group.

Our mini group name is Crazy Quilters. I am going to bookmark your post and print pics to show the gals so our next project will be Crazy!!!

Thank you so much for posting. You do beautiful work.

Take care
