When challenged by a local quilt store to produce an item using only the fabric from a package of coordinating fabrics, I chose to make this vest. The package contained 1/2 yard of the poppy fabric and 5 fat quarters. We could add embellishments, lining and binding in fabrics of our choice as long as the packaged fabrics were prominent. I won first place in the apparel category. I chose various piecing techniques for the fabric such as paper piecing for the star on the back and bargello piecing for the front. For the closures, I made piping and used antique black glass buttons which have an oriental motif.

Pattern or design used: Park Bench Pattern #20
