In Korean culture, yeouiju 여의주 means wish-fulfilling jewel, Yeouijumun 여의주문 means a jewel pattern, and Yeouijumunbo 여의주문보 is the name for a Jogakbo design that is found in the Joseon dynasty period (1392-1910) and in contemporary quilting.
The first documentation of the use of the cathedral window in a quilt appeared at the Chicago World’s Fair in the US in 1933. The technique quickly became popular in North America in the 1930s. In her book, Cathedral Window Quilts, Lynn Edwards made the inference that this technique may have been brought to the United States from the East by missionaries in the early twentieth century.
Each quilt block is made using a folded patchwork technique. This paper folding process is reminiscent of the folded paper fortune teller that many of us learned to construct in childhood.
Youngmin will teach students how to prepare, cut, fold, and connect units of fabric to create the base layer. She will then teach students how to embellish with additional squares of fabric and bakjwi maedeup (bat-figured knot).
