Thanks! I will do that!

Radquilter, Have a look at Madeira Polyneon threads they have some wonderful variegated colours and I have found them easy to use.
Good luck

When I made mine I used a varigated thread

I haven't made one so I can't help there. But I attended a 1 hour class Ricky did at the 2012 Shipshewana Quilt Festival. He sure made it look easy!

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.
