The fun about a convergence quilt, is you really don't know how it will turn out. You might have an idea but, you won't know until it's done. I was inspired to revisit this type of quilt when someone complimented my Del-Lillian Art Quilt Purse. It was actually a convergence quilt top, I didn't know what to do with it so...I made a purse out of it! Here I have my four fabrics in place and ready for the next step.

When I started Del-Lillian's it began with making abstract quilts, the idea and challenge was to make something unusual, artistic, fun and lively, from what I had on hand. It began with mini quilts that could be used on the table (placemats) I love placemats! I like the idea of surrounding my family and friends with pieces of art. It also makes for great conversation The quilt above, is the first wall hanging I made with the same idea It also was my first Etsy Sale. I've gotten away from making my miniature artwork and truly miss it. I do enjoy working with traditional style blocks but, - this is really what I'm about. Quirky yes. I know not everyone is a fan - but that's okay. I don't need EVERYONE to be a fan. I wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand :) As I round out this year. Doing many traditional style quilts I am looking forward to the new year of Abstract Quilting at Del-Lillian,s.
