After sharing my own Harmonic Convergence Quilt, I realized that my Canadian friend, Anna McCurdy, had designed and created six of these beauties and not only that, but they are larger and more complex than my own.
Anna blogs at Quilt Mom's Journey, is a talented educator, quilter, and artist (painting and jewelery) who has been a wonderful blogging friend of many years.
She shared her own convergence quilted beauties with me on facebook after my last post. And gave me permission to share them with all of you 💜

A third variation was made and gifted to a friend for her 60th birthday. What a truly generous gift in so many ways! Filled with Anna's own heart, her hardworking hands, and priceless love and time!
This lovely one for her teaching partner. Love the calming but still warm color This one given as a gift to her sister.

But besides the 6 she's made another quilt using Ricki Timm's patterns or tecniques, the one a bright star, which is pretty much how
