CQ-Kazakhstan Project - 2

So...next step on the K-Project.
I thought the best way to integrate fabrics which are so unlike each other is to chop and fuse to make them into ...fabric!
brown to purple

to green/blue paisley
to aubergine

and then
lilac (satin showing here as white) to red

to aubergine

This is a technique I have used in the past for things like this moon. (inside back of the Midnight Dance coat)
It makes it look like you spent ages piecing!
 

So with much chopping and adding of a few fancy fabrics of my own I have two pieces of fabric that should work together. They need one more chopping and then adding to the light green behind them. I am not sure, but I might blend them.
And now I am a lot happier about thinking I can do this!

Fascinating process. They end up looking so different, yet so harmonious. Great idea.
