Four Seasons Bojagi

I took advantage of the sunshine to photograph my bojagi today, unfortunately it was rather breezy and the bojagi took on a life of its own!
I'm calling it "Four Japanese Seasons".  I need to square up the cloth and decide how I'm going to edge it, probably a simple rolled seam, and I'll have a deeper hem at the top to allow me to hang it at the window in my sewing room on a pole or wire.
On a technical note:  those expensive Black and Gold needles I used for this project were a nightmare.  I broke three before I gave up and went back to trusty John James' quilting needles.

  8. Looks fantastic Lis. The pojagi is wonderful and it will look simply gorgeous in front of a window. There are a number of pojagis created with Joomchi in the exhibition in Rhode Island which look wonderful with light behind them. The effect of those seams is quite atunning
