Lots of folks keep it simple and just put a plain strip of fabric between the braids that you have sewn. Then put a border of the same fabric on the outside.

I like this one a lot. By highlighting the different sizes of braids you get a bigger quilt without losing the integrity of your original fabrics. More of an homage to your mom.
