Make small artistic quilts easily and quickly using this magical technique. The term convergence is defined as the process or state of converging, coming together. The convergence technique is one that uses two or more fabrics cut into strips, then sewn together, then cut and pieced together again. We recommend the book Ricky Tims’ Convergence Quilts, which was published in 2003 and is available used for a nominal fee. Supply List coming soon
