Ricky Tims

I have recently found a new Textile Artist (ie. Quilter) that I have become intrigued with.  His name is Ricky Tims, and I got a couple of his books from the Library.  He is known for his convergence quilts and for his medallion kaleidoscope quilts. I saw samples of both these kinds of quilts at the quilt show, both in Madison and here in Darlington.  These kinds of quilts definitely fall under the category of "art quilts."  They tend to be smaller and more abstract.  Nothing traditional at all!  Still, I am intrigued by his gorgeous quilts and the process which he lays out for you in each of these books.

I know I will have to give both those kinds of quilts a try sooner or later!  Here are the books I borrowed:
