About 12-15 years ago I made a quilt that I decided I did not like as it was. So I turned around and made a jacket out of it. The biggest challenge was the sleeve seams and that took a bit of time to figure out because of the bulk. I don't recommend making a queen size quilt just to cut it up that way. The weight was very taxing on the hands with the cutting thru all 3 layers at one time then sewing 6 layers together at once. I won't do it again. The jacket is hanging in a closet somewhere now.
