The Friendship braid quilt is an easy one to do with the quilt as you go technique and that eliminates the whole issue of the bias edges. Once the strips are finished, you connect them with a joining strip between them.
Use the tutorial that shows you how to foundation piece the friendship braid, but instead of using a foundation fabric, layer your backing and batting and stitch onto that. You'll end up with each braid already quilted when you're done and
then all you do is connect them, add a border and bind it.
