This is the jacket that I made for my MIL for mother's day. She is always cold, even in the heat of the summer. The idea came from two postings here. One about doing the quilted jacket and one about how to use a jelly roll by sewing all the strips together end to end (that is how I made my "fabric" to top the sweatshirt. Thanks everyone for all your innovative ideas.

thats very clever... good job..looks like something my mil would enjoy..

Nice job. I bet she was tickled to show it off too :lol:

nice, i stay cold too all year :)

Very stylish!

very clever, indeed!
I didn't happen to see that you posted your "creative idea" over to the Super Fast Jelly Roll quilt thread, so I am going to do that for you ... I'll bet the original poster will get a kick out of where you have taken her idea <wave>

Such a darling ideal, thanks for sharing your creation with us :thumbup:

Thanks Omak, I never thought of linking it to the original.

I LOVE IT! Very pretty!

very nice and looks comfort

nice I May have to try that.

There are LOTS of very clever quilters out there! Great job! It's very cute! I'm sure it will be a hit! :thumbup:

Well now you're giving ME ideas!!!!!!!! :D
I love it! Great job- thanks for sharing!!!

Very pretty and clever idea, should keep her warm.

That is so cute and it looks nice and warm and cozy. I bet she loved it. Great job.

Now that was a clever idea, Looks great to. I notice on the shoulder seam that you did the back to. Wow how thoughtful of you. Great. Theresse

Yes I did do the back, I just took the sweatshirt apart at the seams after I took the sleeves out and cut my fabric to cover the front and back pieces, did SID on the fabric to "quilt" it and then put it back together. I have a serger so it makes a great job of reassembling the sweatshirt.

She should keep very warm in that jacket. You did a great job on it.

i love it! great job,love the colors! i want one, someday i will make it. i saw one made on a quilt show, and she did the stitch and flip on it.

Yes, stitch and flip would work too. I was trying to keep my seam allowances to a minimum because MIL doesn't like too much "bulk" on the inside of her clothing, it seems to bother her.

That is very pretty, I bet she is enjoying it too :D:D:D

Wow - that is a great idea and very thoughtful of you too <g>

Good job! That is cute.... :thumbup:

Great Jacket. I made many of these for my Mom, she loved them. It made me sweat to see her wearing it when it was 100 degrees outside, but she was comfy.

Yes I know what you mean, my MIL was camping with us this past weekend and she was there in a sweatshirt while rest of us were warm in our t-shirts :lol:
