GranTam asked me to post pictures of the jacket in my avatar. Basically, I made several small sized blocks and placed them on the pattern piece and then added more blocks and spacers until the piece was completely full. Then, of course, some of it was cut away to fit the sleeve, etc. The entire outer portion was completed and sewn together and then the lining was attached. It was lots of work but a lot of fun and very gratifying when it was completed.

beautiful!

WOW!!! love the blocks within the jacket!!

I love all the fabrics and blocks! Way to go!

Thank you all for the complements. I hope it inspires other to give it a try. Unfortunately,and I hate to admit it but, it's a bit too small now. I made it just after I had lost a lot of weight and since then I've added about 15 pounds. You know how they say 10 pounds is a dress size. But I'm working on it and hope to put it on again soon.

cute cute

It's very, very pretty. Thanks for sharing bigger pictures of it.

thanks so much for posting all sides of the jacket. I am working on one for my mom, I started it in March and have the back of it together, but learning hand quilting also to finish the back can't wait to see the end product! I will post my pics when it is done!
