Finished this project (early) this morning as a gift for a friend, the first time I've quilted a larger piece, really enjoyed the process, including making the bias to match the main fabric and even doing all the finishing by hand so the jacket is reversible. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to sew the pockets, which is against my principles*.

Pattern: Tamarack Jacket (Grainline Studio)
Fabrics: Merchant & Mills, Liberty fabrics

*"Someone clever once said⁠
Women were not allowed pockets⁠
In case they carried leaflets⁠
To spread sedition⁠
Which means unrest⁠
To you & me⁠
A grandiose word⁠
For common sense⁠
Fairness⁠
Kindness⁠
Equality⁠
So ladies, start sewing⁠
Dangerous coats⁠
Made of pockets & sedition"
