Improv pieced jacket

This is a fun quilted jacket. I used the Yanaka Pattern by Liesl & Co. I used cotton quilting cottons and backed them with a fusible interlining. The idea of the jacket is to have some fun with Improv Quilting. It is a fun project and I love that the pattern comes with different cup sizes.
