CULTURE- Fancy quilts a la Chungmu (674 words)
Chungmu, a sea port famous as the old site of the naval headquarters of Chosun period war hero, Admiral Yi Sun-Sin (1545-1598), has an outstanding quilt-making tradition.
Traditionally, prequilted fabric was widely used in Chungmu not only for baby carriers but also for all kinds of bedding and garments including fishermen's outfits, Buddhist monks' robes and women's jackets (chogori) and skirts (chima) for everyday use during winter.
The origin of the popular use of fl bias is unknown, but it seems to represent both the aesthetic tastes and practical considerations of the people in the historic city by the sea.
