I got the idea for a jacket at the International Quilt Show in Houston last November. I saw some very pretty jackets made out of old quilts and immediately thought of this quilt. My mil is always cold so I thought a jacket made out of the quilt her gm made her would be perfect.
what about taking the parts that are still intact and making her a shawl since she's always cold? something simple that she could wrap around her shoulders. That way its still part of her original quilt, but won't take so long to repair.
