I bought a kit for this jacket at the Houston Quilt Show.  It is beautiful tapestry from Creations in Kerrville, TX.  A pattern was included with the kit, but I used my favorite pattern by Louise Cutting, By Popular Demand.  Of course, there is no embroidery here, as the focus is the floral print.  No need for anything extra.

I had a little stress about the closure.  If I used regular buttonholes, they would have to be done in two layers of very heavy fabric.  I finally decided on this diamond square of the contrasting stripe holding a corded loop.
