Turn beautiful patchwork into something you can actually wear with the Beachcomber Jacket Pattern by Laundry Basket Quilts.
Designed by Edyta Sitar, Beachcomber combines classic quilting with a comfortable sweatshirt base to create a unique quilted jacket. It's a wonderful project for playing with a mix of colours and prints while creating something completely different from a traditional quilt.
The design uses 30 fat eighths of multicolour dark fabrics paired with lighter fabrics to create the patchwork, making it a great choice for a coordinated fabric collection, a carefully curated bundle, or a very good excuse to go digging through your stash. 😉
Wear your finished Beachcomber Jacket to quilt retreats, guild meetings, classes, fabric-shopping adventures, or anywhere you'd like your quilting to leave the sewing room with you.
