How funny. Cleaning out my closet last week, I found a bomber style jacket from the early 90s. Instead of donating it, I wore it and remembered what I liked about it. Are you going to line your jacket? If not, I'd build my new fabric on another fabric. Do you want it quilted or just pieced?

After seeing the recommendation for Ibotta on this blog, I tried to enroll. I can not get the system to allow my 'JoAnn' choice for refunds; and I'm unable to remove their emails after deleting the app. A bit disappointed. Hope anyone else who uses it has better luck.

Scanning
[QUOTE=JJBlaine;7899839]Ibotta is an app for your smartphone that has rebates for hundreds of items at tons of stores. You have to scan your receipt, and sometimes scan the barcode for specific items. It's easy, almost like taking a picture with your phone.
This might be a weird question, but how do you scan with a phone?

Oh, I"m sorry. I didn't know you wanted pics. I don't have one of the strip pieced jacket. I'll try to get one later today.
I have some pics of the other jackets I've made. Here's one from the Coconut Chips pattern

And here's one from a log cabin variation Spice Market Jacket
And here's one from D9P D9P Jacket

Many years ago I made a quilted vest that a friend requested. She didn't want it to be too bulky, so I omitted the batting, but I used a thin, preshrunk muslin foundation to work the design on. I marked the vest pattern pieces on the muslin, but cut them about an inch bigger all around to allow for any pulling up of the size due to the piecing. Then I chose paper foundation pieced blocks for the center of each front side and the back, and marked the lines on the muslim with pencil and then pieced them together with additional strips around the edges to get area large enough that I could lay out the pattern on it. The vest was lined in the way the pattern showed, covering the foundation work, and then I did just a little outline quilting.
I wish I had a picture of it, but that was before digital cameras when taking pictures didn't come to mind except for special occasions. I hardly remember it except that it had pineapple blocks and my friend wanted brown and peach tones.
You could do some seminole type strips for the areas beyond a center design, or really any type of border. Jackets also lend themselves well to doing some applique or embroidery work on the blocks.
Have fun! Be sure to show us your finished jacket.
