I've posted photos of my recently completed French Braid quilt. You have paid me some very nice compliments, which I very much appreciate; I like the quilt top also.

This post has to do with the difficulties I had attaching the 5 completed braid strips to the rather wide separator bands and the inner borders and getting all the colors to line up horizontally . In fact, I was so bummed out, I thought I should be attending quilt making classes.

I can't and wouldn't attend classes, but am looking for advice from those of you who have made and posted lovely French Braid quilts, such as: have you found a simple way to attach your braids exactly where they need to be, horizontally and vertically? I did learn some things by trial and error, but would welcome any tips whatsoever in case I decide to make any of the others that are in the book I bought.
