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!
The Crazy One
By Teresa Duryea Wong. 2022. 95 x 95 inches. Double Wedding Ring pattern created from all of the weird and wonderful fabric prints in my collection. Some of these have been stashed for a decade or more. I finally decided to use them all in this crazy mash-up of color and pattern. Free-motion machine quilted.
