Jackie,
Don't ya just love those French Braid quilts?? I wanted to try one too, so I just went through my stash and pulled out fabrics I thought might look good together. If YOU like the way some fabrics blend together, then whatever colors you use will be perfect. When I decided to make a French Braid quilt, I started with a block (I guess I always have to be different) instead of a long strip. Then I added a braided strip to 2 ends and got a table runner. It's unfinished yet but I enclosed a couple of pictures anyway. Pick colors YOU like and you won't go wrong.
