Here are a couple of pics of a quilt I finished today for my oldest daughter, Meagan. It's done in a Friendship Braid pattern and I used Moda's "Sultry" fabric for the body of the top. I used a layer cake and sliced the 10" squares into 2.5" strips and then sliced each strip diagonally for the braid pieces, so there was no waste from each layer cake piece at all. I based this on the Friendship Braid pattern from the "Jelly Roll Quilts" book by Pam & Nicky Lintott, but altered the pattern somewhat. Instead of doing 8 rows of braids, I did 7 and made them slightly longer as a result so that the resulting quilt is more retangular than squarish like theirs was.
P.S. My daughter loves it. :)
