Please show your quilted sweatshirt jackets :)

I introduced my mother to them and she crazy quilted them for awhile. It was easier for her to do than a whole quilt. She did not use all those fancy stitches. She just stuck with one stitch and one color of thread through out the project she was working on. It is one way to use up all your scraps.

The best sweatshirt idea I have seen was on this Board several years ago. It is still out there at http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...et-t58056.html . I started one, but never finished it.

I made one a few years ago in gorgeous fabric with various stitching patterns from my sewing machine for decoration. Don't recall the pattern. It was gorgeous, but I looked like a sofa in the Lazy Boy commercials in it. And I'm not that big. I cut it apart and made throw pillows. I would love to see a pattern that isn't so bulky and shapeless.

This is the pattern I used. I noticed on their website that they have other patterns I might have liked better but I just don't have it in me to do another one.

Oh my! It sounds like a number of you don't like your sweatshirt jackets. What a shame because they are so beautiful on the hanger. I have fabrics for two of them but may be rethinking this now. Although, I think it might be perfect for wearing outside in the between seasons, Fall and early Spring. Hmmmm, may have to give this some more thought.
