What is pojagi?

Pojagi is an unusual patchwork technique used to make pieces with reversible seams. There is no backing or lining. It is not quilting, but it's quilt-adjacent.

In sunlight it looks like stained glass, but there is no black fabric.

Traditionally it was stitched by hand, but all my patterns are made on a sewing machine.
