Braid quilt, size of strips?
Hi,
I am planning a Braid quilt and have done searches here and elsewhere for tips. I have seen some beautiful quilts and feel fairly confident on the technique....they seem fairly straightforward.
What I am not confident about the size to cut the strips. Seems most are 2.5 inches wide unless it is a mini. What do you usually use? And how long? The only length measurement I see fairly often is 7.5 inches. But is that 7.5 on the long side if you end the strip with a 45 degree angle? Do you recommend the 45 degree angle? Seems it would be easier, but maybe not? Are straight strips actually easier?
Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
