These quilts are supposed to be somewhat spontaneous and a surprise, but I don’t want to completely surprised by how large or small the final convergence turns out to be.
These lists show the finished width of a convergence based on a starting strip size & the size of the increase for each strip. The “normal” one on the left starts with 1 inch and increases by a half inch. The “miniature” one starts with 3-quarter inch and increases only by a quarter inch.
They are cumulative… cut as many strips as desired starting from the top of the list.
- Fabric Size: required width of fabric needed to make a convergence using all the rows from top to this one.
- Strip Cut Size: size of each successive cut strip
- Converged width: the final finished size of a convergence of 2 fabrics using all the rows from 1 to this one

| 38.5 | 6 | 66 | 22.75 | 3.25 | 33 |
Don’t forget to leave a final piece of fabric AT LEAST as width as your last cut strip.
