Wow, that is fantastic! I've been learning quilting for 6 years and still haven't done a braid quilt like your table runners. They are so cute, and I love the quilts.
I used to get crazy over the mistakes, but not anymore. If I kept that craziness up, I wouldn't have finished my first quilt. Well, the truth is the first quilt top I ever made is still in the closet, but that's mostly because it it king size and my quilting frame only does up to queen size quilts.
