Thanks Joan. :) I think there were 15 fabrics in this quilt.

I found the instructions to be a little daunting at first too. I just read and re-read until I thought it made sense, then went for it. LOL She does warn that it's a bit challenging to put the braids together because there isn't any way you can alter the length, and no matter HOW careful you are with your 1/4" seam, when you're sewing 200+ strips together, the braids don't wind up exactly the same length, so you have to fudge a bit to make them fit nicely in a row. I encourage you to try it! I think you'll do just fine. :) I can't wait to see yours when you get it done!
