Way back in January, I was pursuing info. on this board regarding both French Braid patterns and Keepsake Quilting.

Research finally resulted in the completed top shown below. It cost far more $$$$ than anything I've ever attempted, some of which was due to miscalculations on my part. For example, I only had 1/3 of the Bali Pops I needed, so had to find and buy the other 2/3, plus I bought 3 different border fabrics (3 yds. each); the first 2 seriously bombed so will have to be used for something else. In fact, I have a lot of leftover fabric for future projects ... of the many $$$$ spent, not all went into this colorful top.

Now it is going into storage, along with its backing and binding until such time as I can work on it again, plus I am sick of it at present.

All the Bali Pops were cut crooked, so I had to measure everything before I sewed it. And yet, it is still flawed! I like it anyway. Hope you enjoy the photos.
