I don’t know how I got started on this quilted jacket. My niece was making one for her mother, My sister, and I thought it was so cute. The idea is from the Laundry Basket blog. Meanwhile, my sister and I used to quilt together. We made so many of Bonnie hunters mysteries. I made mine full size and she made hers half or 3/4. She’s the math major and I couldn’t figure out the math so I always made the full size. Well, my sister got dementia and no longer quilts so all of her fabric and unfinished quilt tops went to her daughter who is also a quilter. Barbara, her daughter sent me one of my sisters quilt tops which just happened to be on Ringo Lake. So I followed the instructions cut up the quilt top and I am now quilting the pieces getting ready to put it together. You cut up a sweatshirt to use as a pattern and also it is the batting. Here are some photos. I about cried cutting up my sister’s work, however there are pieces left over to make hot pads so nothing goes to waste
