This is my first attempt at making a quilted jacket. Thanks to quilter friends who have made jackets and encouraged me, I decided to make one for Noel for her 6th birthday, May 12. The fabrics were colorful two and a half strips packaged as a "jelly roll". I used a jacket pattern, and randomly sewed the strips on to the batting and lining, then cut the pattern pieces. The jacket was then sewn together (already quilted!). The lining is a colorful fabric with pictures of flowers in pale yellow, green and pink colors. I enjoyed making it, and when I had questions during the process, I was a phone call away from help, thanks to Betty King.
