Because all of the seams are folded in and stitched down, both sides can be displayed...
I think that the stitched patches and seam work really give the cloth a wonderful utilitarian feel...
This shot cotton was woven with green and yellow threads, producing a beautiful chartreuse color...
By alternating the direction of the grain on the individual patches, sometimes, (depending on how the light hits the cloth) some patches appear more green based, and some more yellow based...
And of course, hung in the window creates a totally different look...
This Pojagi Inspired Utilitarian Patchwork Panel/Runner is currently available in my shop. Note: Now sold.

Absolutely stunning.
Loving your new approach this year.
Awesome!!!
You never cease to amaze. Stunning.
This is truly wonderful. I find myself trying to figure how one would even make it. You did a lovely job!
What a stunning cloth, especially with the light coming through it. Interesting technique, too.
Absolutely gorgeous, especially hanging in the window.
This is simply stunning
It is amazing!
I admit I'm not keen on that colour, but the effect is absolutely stunning, especially when held up to the window, just like stained glass!
That is so beautiful in all its simplicity, and your seams are so perfectly straight, straight, straight. I'm impressed and just a little bit envious...
*gasp*
Wonderful!
Even though you take old techniques and make them new again, I think you're one of the most innovative quilters. Always quite original in your own style. I always enjoy visiting you.
Phenomenal! The color and design work perfectly together, and I have so enjoyed seeing a construction technique that is new to me! Wonderful job.
I love it. The work, the color. But hung in the window? Genius.
I got my "Quilting Arts" magazine in the mail on Monday.
How exciting!
Congratulations!!!

This is SO incredible! I'm in love with this!
So beautifully tactile!
GLAD THAT YOUR CREATIVE JUICES ARE ONCE AGAIN FLOWING.
HAVEN'T HEARD MUCH ABOUT LITTLE ELLIE LATELY. I HOPE SHE'S BEEN HELPING YOU WITH THE PROCESS. SHE SEEMS SUCH A LOVELY GIRL.
Oh! This is really wonderful. The juxtapositions - utilitarian & elegant, traditional and modern etc - in this piece are just wonderful
Another beautiful piece Vic.....so wonder you are selling like hotcakes! Happy summer!
Victoria, It is just beautiful!! The shot cotton is just perfect for it.
This is so desirable and so artistic, honest, and, well I don't know how to put into words what I feel having just read your last three posts. I love the boro circles. You are such an original.I find myself amazed and inspired by your work.
I've just discovered your blog and wanted to say that I'm completely smitten with your work. It's full of the most delicious shiver and oh my lord I love it.
Thanks to each of you very, very much. xo
PS. to Niki: Ellie Mae is doing super... she's just a little camera shy lately. :0)
Yum! Love the seam pattern.
Utterly beautiful. Do you know of a resource that has instructions for this technique? Do the French seams get bulky at intersections?
Thank you,
Andrea in Minnesota
Andrea, if you Google Pojagi, you should find a little info, but unfortunately, (at least in my searching) not a whole lot of instruction other then that it is traditionally done with french seams and hand stitching. I am approaching mine a bit differently, using traditional seams, that then have each side folded in and machine stitched down. On my attempts, there has been minimum bulk at the intersections, but that may be due to the fact that I am using a very lightweight material. :)
The Pojagi work is simply stunning. In my book, you are now the Frank Lloyd Wright of textiles.
What! ? I have to do this now!!! THANK YOU!!!
this is absolutely beautiful!!
please please update your blog we are all getting withdrawel symptoms
What a hoot!
Done!
Love this one too, absolutely stunning and a gorgeous colour!
Do you have a pattern for sale for the brown and green panel/ runner? I would like to make a duvet cover that is very similar to this. Thanks!
Sorry Stevie, I don't. However you can find my tutorial for machine stitching pojagi on my side panel. Good Luck!
