I Cheated....
Well, I really just got lazy. I spent the rest of the morning working on the sleeves and decided that I really, really didn't want to make my own bias binding. I did that for my original Hot Patterns Wrapture Jacket and while it looked good, it was quite a bit of work. I was also afraid that the twill I was using would create too much bulk. So, I broke down and purcsed a package of bias tape. Several hours later I had completed my Anthropologie Geranium Sweater Jacket look-alike!
I'm going to post a full review over at Pattern Review tonight - I'll post a link incase anyone wants further information on how to make this jacket.
UPDATE I posted a review of the pattern on PR tonight. Here's a link with more info on the changes I made to the jacket.

Looks GREAT! I'm about to attempt a jacket, and we'll see how it goes... i think i will try to make a muslin first. i've never set a sleeve before so im a little nervous about that...

Amy - I felt a bit dorky about posing the same as the picture, but I thought it was a good idea originally - it did give DH a chuckle.
Joi - Good luck on your jacket. You'll do great on sleeves, just baste (and ease if necessary) your sleeves first and it will all come together.

Stacy,
I love the jacket! You did such a wonderful job. Even my DD who sews was so impressed that you knocked off the Anthropolgie jacket. But I especially love the cost ~ great job!

Thanks! I had fun planning and making this (especially when you see the price difference).
If I have time I may try something like the Coaster Dress or Sprinkler Dress - they looks so fun and summery!
