I googled boro and nothing came up except bars and city names. Is there another name for this that I can read about? To me it looks like raw edge patchwork done by hand with as much texture as possible? I doubt I would have the time to actually do this much but I like to try anew technique or art form in some small way at least once to experience it. Thank you 🙂
