Clueless QCAL (As if!) — Type of Quilt Coat
Please don’t get overwhelmed by another long, rambling email by me. There are three months till we start our QCAL, so you have ample time to read through all this info! Tackle it when you are ready.

The All Business coat is “simple”…it’s a solid color coat with no piecing, just quilting. Simple doesn’t mean plain! Here’s the link for fabric requirements. You can always add fun accents like colorful binding and a fun lining. Here are a couple examples I found on IG.
The Mullet coat (love this name especially since the mullet is making an ironic comeback with everyone’s Covid hair grows). It’s as the name implies….business in front (solid for front and arms) and party in the back (fun quilty design on the back). Here’s the link for the fabric requirements. This link talks about how to make it–we’ll cover this during the QCAL. Here are some examples I found on IG.

The Party All Over coat is a coat that has piecing/quilt design all over it. The piecing doesn’t have to be intense…Brittney Frey’s patchwork quilt coats fall under this category. Here’s the link for the fabric requirements. This link talks about how to make it–we’ll cover this during the QCAL. Here are a couple examples I found on IG.

A Little Bedazzling coat is an All Business coat with a few added pieces of bedazzling (quilting bedazzling, not those rhinestones). The ones I’ve seen have external pockets that have quilt blocks on the front. You could add some quilt design to the hood, plus fun binding and lining. Here’s the link for the fabric requirements. This link talks about how to make it–we’ll also cover this during the QCAL. Here are a few examples I found on IG.
