Harmonic Convergence quilt technique has been around for a while, but the results are always so amazing that the technique seems timeless. I was browsing through my iPhoto archives and found pictures of two Harmonic Convergence quilts that my friend, Gerry, pieced and asked me to quilt for her.
Gerry has a great eye for pattern and color, and her piecing is impeccable. I think my quilting did justice to her beautiful workmanship. Take a look... and if you like these quilts, I'll be

This is the second in Gerry's Harmonic Convergence series. Like potato chips, you can't have (or make) just one.

This one has a unique complementary color scheme with the deep, burnt orange and a powdery light blue. I quilted a combination of circular swirls...

Isn't the border fabric spectacular? The circles are an excellent complement to the horizontal and vertical lines in the center. Here is the full view.
