Oh dear @dubhels2003, I know what you mean but still very cute!

My little Trix finished her sleepy 5am feed in our bed, smiled said ‘choc-late’ and went back to sleep.

A fast and easy baby gift. 🙂

Ahhh. Thank you for all your advice! @nestfullofeggs and @lightningmcstitch. I went ahead and tried to quilt each lining piece and each outer piece. I used a light weight flannel instead of batting to cut down on the bulk. I think it turned out lovely. The pattern seems roomy enough to handle it.

@libloucks, there is definitely more than one way to make the quilted jacket, but here is what I did… First I made the quilted fabric with 3 layers: fabric, batting, fabric.
