Cristin at Sew This is My Life is making the cutest baby quilt for her baby who is due in 10 weeks. She's in the market for quilting suggestions so I thought of this wall quilt that I made about 5 or 6 years ago. Ricky Tims came to my guild and I was able to buy some of his hand-dyed fabric and his Convergence book. This is my first convergence quilt, very fun to make. I decided to quilt the body with all straight lines using a variegated thread. I didn't mark it at all, I'm lazy like that. I just varied the distance between each stitching line, sometimes doing three lines together, or two, or just one alone. Then I turned the quilt 90 degrees and did it again. When I got to the border, I just free stitched around the flowers.
