That's exactly what I was thinking! The solid strips might highlight the braids even more!
When all the braids are done - PREVIEW the braids on a solid piece of fabric - just lay them out (fold back the corners that you're going to trim off later if necessary) - and then think about adding a strip in between the rows. It would make a resting place for the eye (if that's what you want). Mine has a red charm IN the colums so that's where the eye will rest.
I used the PREVIEW method when I made another top and was trying to decide if I wanted a lot of the 10" squares to be the same fabric with a few different ones thrown in. It was better than cutting up all that fabric only to discover I didn't like it. Maybe I can post a picture later,
Strip - no Strip - that'll come later - Keep Sewing! LOL
