Overview

From its origins as wrapping cloths made from scraps of fabric to its place in contemporary textile art, Bojagi--the traditional art of Korean patchwork quilt art--is a wonderfully versatile mode of expression that can transform a room or a wardrobe.

Written by master instructor Choi Yangsook, Korean Patchwork Quilting takes you step-by-step through the art of assembling bits of lightweight fabric, by means of invisible seams, to create contemporary pieces for your home and life.

Projects in this book include:

  • Hangings for walls and windows
  • Table runners and table cloths
  • Bags and pouches
  • Zakka ("miscellaneous things") accessories
  • Quirky Jewelry
  • And more

This Korean folk craft has played an important role in Korean culture for centuries. The distinct 'window pane' appearance of a bojagi piece often resembles a colorful modern abstract painting or stained glass window, but can also be made as a single-color piece for an elegant look.

Lessons, diagrams and templates, along with a few simple knotting and embroidery techniques, present a wide range of projects so that novices can try their hand and more experienced quilters can enjoy a satisfying challenge.
