Jeanne, have you seen the Jacket Jazz series by Judy Martin? Lots of good
tips for making quilted jackets. Her technique builds patchwork sections on
top of a flannel base. The jacket can then be sewn together and lined
without more quilting. Experience tells me that a jacket lined in cotton is
very hard to wear over cotton clothing, especially in the sleeves -cotton
sticks! More comfortable to line it in silk.

i thot of that.
either just two layers of patchwork design on top/reversible like a summer
weight quilt
or if any batting is used it would have to be extremely lightweight and
any quilting would have to be quite sparsely.
too much quilting and it would just not bend at all.
theres more to this than meets the eye.
i'm think'n thru it tho.
