It makes the cutest little braid, but I dont have a pattern for a quilt. The braid is only 5 inches wide, and no matter how I arrange the braids, it doesn't look balanced. They look so long and skinny. Any ideas?
I have Googled french braid, watched Ellen do a Braid in a Day, but they all look wider. I'm stuck!
I took a class last fall at our quilt guild and made one. We measured and marked each strip and quilted it as we went along. Did not use a tool of any kind.
It turned out well but I would not make another any time soon.
