That's great. Today I visited my local quilt shop and got some great ideas on my next quilting project; mainly the pattern. I saw a french braid quilt and it was done in batiks and prints with gold. absolutely gorgeous. so now I am trying to determine color before buying any fabric. (long nails are hard to type with!) Does anyone have a french braid pattern they can email me? The one I saw had sashes in between the columns and i really like it.
