Thanks, Pam -- and everyone else! -- for your very nice comments.

This was my first attempt at a Convergence Quilt, and wasn't sure I even liked it when I'd finished. But then I hung it on my design wall and looked at it for a while (and looked at it here, too), and figured that it would be OK. ;)

Those of you who suggested using the border fabric were thinking the same thing I was -- get the focus back on the center of the quilt. My only concern will be how I can piece together enough of those same colors without it looking too choppy. [I love pieced bindings normally, I just worry about all these "almost, but not quite the same" colors...]

Stay tuned: I'll be posting my finished product in the next day or so.

Many thanks again! You guys are the best! :thumbup:
