I see why it's called convergence; those colours do converge onto one another in such a beautiful way.
And with your handy tip on basting, I've had to bookmark this thread so I can use your tip for my next quilt!

The batting was sandwiched in between and I used a herringbone basting stitch to baste the darn thing. It worked out wonderful and I'm thrilled with how it came out. I also made pillowcases to match rather than shams.

If you go to the site: sharonschambernework.com you will find the information in the free class section. It's called Basting your quilt. It was very easy to do and the video provided on the site is very informative. Good Luck!
