Jacket is finished!!! Many firsts for me on this one. Had to learn flat felled seams to make the jacket reversible. I had never done a One Block Wonder hexagon quilt before. And I learned how to make double sided binding so my binding matches on either side of the jacket.
Bargello side
and
Hexi side
I've been wearing it, trying to loosen it up a bit. And I always find more threads to be snipped every time I wear it....
I used Thermore batting because it was recommended (at a craft show) for clothing because it drapes well. Not well enough for me... yet? Maybe if I put it in the dryer with some tennis shoes it would loosen up a bit. When I wore it in to the local quilt store, A Quilted Heart, the other day, the owner recommended silk batting for drape in clothing. I've never even heard of silk batting!
