Patchwork Jacket
seaside sewer Intermediate UNITED KINGDOM Member since 6/23/09 Posts: 280	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/31/12 2:02 AM I made a quilt top, which was supposed to be a rail fence pattern, but, due to serious lapses in concentration, is more a broken fence I was debating whether to use the 'fabric' for a patchwork jacket. I have a very simple pattern, edge to edge style with a shawl collar, and think there is enough fabric to do it [will obviously check first] With maybe a fleece lining?

I am not a huge lover of the rail fence pattern, but I love what your lapse in concentration created. OTOH, I think it would make an excellent jacket if that is what you want to do with it. ------ Barb

I once made a rail fence quilt and when I look at it, I get a headache. If that was my quilt, I would go ahead and quilt it. JMO
