I made several quilt blocks and stitched them onto a muslin jacket. I made the jacket pattern in PatternMaster Botique.
But on the way I had another idea:
I decided that I could make a jacket with removable sleeves: jacket/vest. And I did it. Now I can't tell you that the vest looks really good on me (really broad shoulders) but the idea is good and it is a great learning tool. And it was lots of fun to demo at guild.
I really enjoyed making the log cabin blocks and plan to make a quilt with them one day but it just seems like I keep coming up with new ideas that then push the old ideas

Your quilt top is just beautiful. The colors are very nice (I was sitting in class this morning, listening to speeches when a student looked over and said, "I seem to see a lot of purple over there." My folder, blouse, shoes, pen were all purple, as was the t-shirt of the young man sitting next to me). One of my first quilts was a log cabin and many following. Nice pattern :) Love the vest, too!
Very pretty jacket!! Enjoyed looking at your blog, and appreciate you looking at mine. All your quilts are so pretty.Just wondering where in the "south" do you live?

Isn't Flavin great? Your jacket is so very pretty.
This really takes me back! I made a log cabin jacket in browns many, many years ago - the pattern was a bit different from yours as the sleeves were also from LC blocks. I wore it until it literally fell apart. I've often thought it wold be fun to make another one. Should finish losing the weight first however as I certainly don't need the additional padding right now LOL!
