Historic ❄ Unique ❄ Dynamic

collection

The most recent invasion of Ukraine started on February 24, 2022. We are now at day 1079.

For every day of the war, our project generates a unique quilt square based on an algorithm and generative art code created by Kirti Schoener.

Collect a digital quilt square and add your story. It will be shared and preserved digitally, via a blockchain.

Proceeds will be donated to one or more Ukrainian support organizations. If you are a support organization and wish to partner, please contact Kirti.

This dynamic, generative project was inspired by Vyshyvanka, traditional Ukrainian embroidered clothing. The colorful embroidery is emulated in the quilt and a close-up view reveals intricate creatively-coded “stitches” that form the patterns in every square.

When the war is over, a composite of all of the squares, one for each day, will form the final quilt.

FAQs

Net proceeds from primary sales of the quilt squares and the final composite quilt will be donated to support Ukraine. The use of funds raised is estimated as:

86 - 90% to Ukraine/NGOs
10 - 14%: payment processing and transaction fees, marketing, artist

Is today’s Day 1 square different from yesterday’s Day 1 square?

Each day’s square is generated based on a hash for that day, so the war’s Day 1 square generated today will look the same as Day 1 generated yesterday.

Are the squares collectible?

Yes. The squares for elapsed days are minted in batches. Each digital square is a unique, historic collectible.

Please subscribe for project updates.

Is there a mint or pre-order waitlist for quilt squares?

We are not sure whether we will have a waitlist, but subscribing to updates ensures that you'll be on it, if we do.

How many squares are in the collection?

A new digital square is added to the collection for every day that the war in Ukraine continues. The quilt will stop growing when the war ends.

Day 23, or 740, or nnn, has special meaning to me. Can I inscribe it?

Yes! You will be able to add your personal story or any text you choose to your square. Subscribe to stay up to date on how to add text to your quilt square.

Is The Ukraine Quilt collectible?

After the war ends, the final quilt will be generated. It will be a composite of all of the squares, one for each day, along with blue and yellow fillers to complete the rectangle. This composite version of The Ukraine Quilt will be auctioned as its own digital collectible. You will continue to own your unique square until you choose to sell it.

We are a support organization. How can we share in the proceeds from this collection?

If you are an NGO or non-profit supporting Ukraine and would like to receive funds raised by this art, please contact Kirti.
