This patchwork piece is inspired by a cool technique I found called “convergence”. Ricky Tims was the creator of this technique, as a follower pointed out to me. I can’t confirm, though, that I’m following it to the letter, as I made this tutorial inspired by a photo and diagram I saw on a Russian website (I can’t find the page) before I knew about Ricky Tim’s books on the subject.
This technique goes as follows.
You start with a simple four-patch block.
Then, you slice it vertically and mix up the pieces in a specific order.
After that, you do the same thing horizontally.
The result? A fascinating blend of patterns and colors that really grab your attention.

This technique was started by Ricky Tims many years ago – I didn’t see any acknowledgement to him

Hi Teresa, The convergence quilt, if not invented by, was certainly popularized globally by Ricky Tims and his books on the subject. Other websites which discuss the idea give him credit. I’m surprised and disappointed that you don’t even mention him in this description, saying only that it’s “a cool technique I found”. Of course he is not in need of additional publicity, but I believe it’s customary professional courtesy for all kinds of teachers (including YouTubers and bloggers) to credit by name the sources of inspiration for design concepts they share. I also want to tell you that I tried to use the links in this email to go to your patreon and see whether joining is in my budget, (so I could watch the video and see whether you give credit there) but the links did not work. Your fan, Peggy Cleary
