Japanese Folded
By Jennie Rayment
A fascinating patchwork with many variations. It has the great advantage of being double-sided so no backing fabric required, and once finished is a complete unit.
For a quilted or more robust design, insert a layer of wadding or interfacing. The basic principle of this patchwork is the folding of a specific sized circle over an equally specific sized inner shape. Discover the many variations on the technique and the exciting results of colour, shape and form. A simple principle with enormous design potential.
Watch the video and be inspired by the multifaceted variations of this patchwork. Create quilts, wall-hangings/place mats, boxes and so much more. Jennie explains in full the essence of the technique and expounds upon the possibilities. This concept and further amazing applications for creative play and experimentation can be found in Jennie’s latest book ‘Material Magic’
