So except for one piece that I am not showing (the one for the convergence quilt) here they are!

Three batiks, one French Floral by FabriQuilt and two Laurel Burch (the snakes on green and geckos on purple) I swear my stash smiled when these guys came to the neighborhood.
I delayed this from posting and I managed to do a bit of sewing, so now you get to see the next border for the convergence quilt. This is the other fabric I bought on the outer borders.
Full quilt
And the top draped over a recliner.
Didn't The 3 Wild Quilters pick a great POP fabric? I have to tell you that the colors are much better in person.
You know, this didn't turn out to be a short post after all!

Those fabrics are awesome...your convergence quilt is just wonderful!
Gene, that fabric is perfect for your border....! Love all the fabrics you purchased...there's just something about a "good" batik...makes the quilt POP!
glad you had a great shopping trip...can't wait to see what Pat bought...oops two Pats...well you know the one I see all the time
Love the fabric and that your stash "smiled" :)
Great convergence quilt Gene- just love the happy colors and the Turquoise really sets off the rest of the quilt.
I love your Laurel burch fabrics - I loved her designs - such a talented lady and she was taken from this world much too soon. I especially like the geckos- they make me think of Mexico. We went there went our son was young and he was fascinated by the geckos. He would cry when the men cleaned them off the wall and most of the time they would stop cleaning them off until we had passed by. The Mexican people were so kind to little children.
Happy quilting,
Regards,
Anna
It really is a great quilt!
The batik influence came from Pat???? I did not know Laurel Burch designed fabric. I think I have a piece of her jewelry, if I am not mistaken.
Love your choices.
Love the way you are displaying your new fabrics for that photo.......clever way of folding them! I love that turquoise and you are right....the colors don't show TRUE online. I have seen that convergence piece in person (as well as the turquoise fabric) and it is all SUPER!!!
that border fabric is great, it's perfect.....love the others as well....especially, the one with gold/yellow flowers. i sent you a package today...;)
What fun you 3 had! Love your choices of fabs & that turquoise was a perfect choice for the border.....Wow! that's a pretty one, Gene. Love it!
Colorful as always, and it pops great with that border fabric!
Beautiful new fabrics! The outer border is absolutely the perfect choice for your quilt!!
Just love those fabrics you bought. How great that you three met up and had a good time.
WOW, those colours are amazing!!! I haven't seen a quilt quilted with all the brights and Batiks together and now I can see why they are so popular! The cheery fabrics and the richness of the colours just makes me feel relaxed like I'm on a holiday somewhere!!! Well done!
Wow! I haven't really used such bright colors before, so it is fun to see them in a quilt. Very nice!
