Ricky Tims' book has so much more in it than just instructions. He gives valuable construction tips for a successful convergence quilt and provides the groundwork for inspiring your own creativity. If you have a JoAnn's nearby, you can use a 40% off coupon on Ricky's books or Amazon is a good source for steep discounts. I even saw one of his books at my public library! Of all the quilt books I have, Ricky Tims' Convergence Quilts is the most valuable and the most referenced of the lot.
