Progress on my Quilted Jacket

I've been spending a lot of time on my quilted jacket.  It's very scrappy and it looks like the coat of many colors!  Everything I used in the jacket has a special meaning to me.

These are all the pattern pieces.  Two sleeves, two fronts, a back and a collar.

On top is the collar, I made it out of Ruby Star Society selvages, because I love those designers and their selvages are so cute! The two bottom pieces are the two front pieces.  I made some economy blocks and used an "orphan" Pineberry block.

All the center squares in the economy blocks are special to me. Dwight Schrute from "The Office" TV show.  That's not my favorite TV show, but my kids all love it!  The orange meat cans is fabric that I made for my grandson Bridger's scripture cover. The little cowboy is from a quilt that I made for our oldest grandchild Bridger when he was born, almost twenty years ago!  Next is Anne of Green Gables. Both of my parents are from Prince Edward Island and I spent most summers there as a child and teenager. There are more, but maybe I'll talk about them in another post.

Some American Jane squares, I have a small collection of that fabric that I've been hoarding for years!

This is the back of my jacket, it's all quilted.

I'm using this Art Gallery flannel for the lining.  At the bottom, I've added a strip of Ruby star fabric, including the selvage.  When I have the jacket on, I will turn up the cuff and it will show.

This is the other sleeve.  I love the Union Jack block.  It used to be Canada's flag until 1967 when Canada turned 100 years old. I had to draw that flag a lot in Elementary school and it was really difficult!

That's what I have done so far. My goal is to have the jacket finished by the middle of February, so I can wear it to Quiltcon which is in Phoenix. I hope I won't be embarrassed to wear it, lol!
