My Quip - Who Did Desi Adore? - Quilt Wall Hanging - Update

Good Day,

Well the creation of Who Did Desi Adore? continues. Most definitely an abstract mosaic wall hanging.

We decided that there needed to be some more shading in the fabrics as we create the composition. And therefore in these images you can see some white paper squares with letters on them. We are waiting on the fabric shades to arrive. All fabrics are void of patterns. We are using the Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton line. The line is an artist's veritable and endless palette.

We both are enjoying the concept of mosaic construction with fabric. And yesterday we stopped for a burger at BGR The Burger Joint. The decor is early 80s rock music... and each table top is a mosaic of an album cover. Pretty slick... And by the way, the burgers were good, really good.

And now for the Quilts SB business part…

My Quip – Who Did Desi Adore? – Wall Hanging – Progress

Good Day,

I guess the strapping on Andy’s left wrist certainly isn’t slowing him down.

This is a quick update of our new original design, Who Did Desi Adore?.

25% of the piecing into strips has been completed; squares and equilateral triangles. The pattern of my design is beginning to take form. This should prove interesting. And I’m still trying to figure out a “classification” for this wall hanging… Maybe, abstract mosaic?

Enjoy,

Andy and Jim

My Quip – Who Did Desi Adore? – A New Wall Hanging

Good Day,

When does 766 + 534 = 24” by 36”? In other words, for those above the border line in the frigid north and across the expanse of Ocean waters, when does 766 + 534 = 60.9 cms by 91.4 cms?

And yes, both CT surgeries are complete. The sling is in the trash bin for pick-up… and Andy is antsy to start working again.

I have completed the new venture, Who Did Desi Adore?? My design is down on paper. We’re using 19 colors of fabrics. All 19 are solid colors; Robert Kaufman, Kona Cotton. Our key has been constructed. This will be Number 1 in our Lucille Ball Series. The final size will make this quilt a wall hanging.

The question is – What type of quilt is Who Did Desi Adore? going to be? Abstract portrait? Portrait mosaic? What about a cubist pattern? Is it influenced by my research of Paul Klee and Gunta Stöltz?
