Kandinsky and Half Tuna on a larger scale

Priority #1 - Create

Progress on the upscaled block created for Symposium2022 (Wellington, NZ). This queen sized version builds on the Symposium challenge of using Reseene paint chips (Kandinsky and Half Tuna) to create a single 30cm x 30cm (12" square) block.   My exhibition piece was inspired by a Kandinksky painting - strong lines, curves and inspirational composition.

The larger version comprises 9 blocks made in the style of the challenge piece. The finished quilt top will comprise a 9 patch (3 x 3)  framed in black and brought together by a wonderful green Kona cotton that was selected after the blocks were made.  The dilemma of finding the "right" fabric was solved using an app (A Quilty Solid) by Steph Skardal.   

I uploaded an image of the constructed border which I made from block remnants - anything the size of a square inch (2.5cm squared) or larger was used. So far, about 9  metres  The app then gave me 20 colours from the image, and even better, the respective Kona solid. I hand dye and print my fabrics so for me, this was such a bonus not to spend hours or days trying to get the "right" colour fabric to bring a cohesive feel to my already constructed blocks. I googled the colour I'd decided upon and ordered from a local (for Australia anyway) online shop. Presto! I'm back in business without leaving the house. Ordered and delivered within a few days. For me, a magic result.  Now to finish the quilt top.
