Japanese Folded Patchwork



My sample is a wall hanging that measures 32.5" by 43" but you can make 

your quilt any size just by adding more blocks.

It is a great project to use up favourite fabrics from your stash. Just add a plain or 

a tone-on-tone print that makes your colourful fabrics 'pop'.

I used Sarasa fabrics from Japan that I had collected on several visits.


It is a project that is totally hand pieced. 

You make the blocks as little mini quilts so once you have made the blocks 

and sewn them together that is it. 

And there is no binding to add.


This is a pattern only. $20.00

Modern Boro Runner Pattern

 Modern Boro is an interpretation of the Traditional Japanese Boro.

It is patched and stitched to completely cover a base fabric (Sarashi) whereas

Traditional Japanese Boro was fabric that was patched and stitched only 

where it had become worn. Modern Boro is more of an art form than a necessity.



This runner is 1.30 metres long and 35cm wide.
