I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

Convergence Quilts
I attended a Ricky Tims lecture sponsord by Olde City Quilts in Burlington New Jersey. I was inspired to make a convergence quilt using a challenge fabric from the guild. The quilt consisted of four fabrics - black, a multicolored Ricky hand dye, a blue commercial fabric that reads like a solid and the challenge fabric which is a wild multicolored stripe . I know Ricky recommends an overall quilting design for these, but what thread color would you use for such disparite colors? I thought of monofilament. I did look at the converergence quilts in the Quilt Gallery but often it is difficult to see the quilting. Any suggestions from people who have quilted these types of quilts would be appreciated. How did you decide on the color to quilt them if you used an overall design.Tags: None

If you don't want the quilting to show beyond texture, you could also look at solid colors like taupe, grays and olive. These colors tend to blend in well with a lot of other colors, including black. You'll want to pull some thread off of the spool and pool it on top of the quilt to see how it will blend in.

Radquilter, I think you will be very pleased with the results. I used Rainbows 40 wt. variegated thread by Superior Threads on my convergence quilt and was thrilled with it. I used a Ricky Tims hand-dyed fabric with a thin border of black and a tone on tone deep purple border. The variegated thread worked beautifully with the bright colors and tied the black and purple fabrics in with the rest of the quilt.
