quilted jacket

I did a lot of traveling in November and almost no crafting, but I am back in the saddle before Christmas. Here are a few pictures from my journeying. Here I am wearing a quilted coat my mom made for me years ago. It has a flannel interlining. I washed it and it shrunk two sizes and I am just now back in this size again and can wear it. Look at how many tiny pieces of aqua fabrics! Oh yeah, I am in Switzerland in these photos.

I think my mother gave me this top that someone else had given her. I had it quilted and just bound it this week. It has plain muslin on the back and a pretty flower design quilted on it. The hexagons were all hand sewn. This quilt has just a few colors/fabrics on it and is really not my style at all! I think it is an odd size now, kind of wide for a throw and too short for a twin bed.
