French braid on a budget
 
4 Attachment(s)
My 4th quilt: Saw a u-tube video for this idea. Went to Wal-Mart and bought lots of sale & clearance fabric. Didn't want expensive fabric in case the "no purchased pattern" thing didn't go so well. Loved how easy this went together. Sent this quilt with dd to her apt. (college soon to be in session again).

Great modern looking quilt for college. I used that pattern for a Christmas tablerunner that I did QAYG. It was easy and turned out nicely too.

Awesome quilt! What You Tube video did you watch? I'd love to watch it. Thanks.

Thank's. I googled u-tube french braid quilt and chose: Free Quilt Patterns French Braid Pattern Video.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNNFfqHo2el. Hope I got that correct. It's a blond gal with a bit of an accent that makes a huge quilt. If I could make this in a month, any of you can!

Very pretty! Love those matching pillows too!

suebee 08-11-2012 04:01 PM
