My quilt coat gets rave reviews and some weird looks when I wear it! I made this in late 2021. The patchwork design is inspired by a quilt made by Japanese artist Yoshiko Jinzenji. I took her idea and changed it up a bit to fit the coat. The pattern for the jacket is by Megan Nielsen Patterns. I pieced and quilted the sections for each pattern part first (on a longarm), then stitched them together. I wore this at Quiltcon Austin 2022 and felt like a fashion model with so many wonderful comments!
