I've made a couple of the table runners with the square center and the braid going out to a point at each end. One I did with smooth sides and one with the points at each joining. The smooth one is much quicker and easier! But I really liked the look of the other one. Next time I do one I'm thinking of using prairie points or something similar instead of binding the sides.

I need to get busy and make one too. I think they are so pretty.

Attached is a photo of my recent French braid. It is the first one I have ever made and I too have fallen in love with the pattern and its versatility.

I'm in love with them and have several books and a special ruler to make it piece of cake. What they heck am I waiting for????? I especially like the idea of using them for valances!!! How come I didn't think of that??? LOL

Love French Braids. Love the purple one. Have a book on them, haven't made one yet, but it doesn't include the tree skirt. What a great idea! Now I have to add another to my todo list. At this rate, I'll be as old as dirt before I get everything done. Oh, yeah, according to my kids, I am as old as dirt. Oh, well.

I made some tablerunners but didn't realize you could make a full quilt out of them until I saw picture in the gallery. Duh! They are just gorgeous.

I'm a scrappy quiltmaker, so the french braid is a good pattern to use them up!! I've got several rows made, and hanging, but haven't put them together yet.

I always figure out a way to sew a strip to one side and then sew a strip to the other side. It needs to be laid out and pinned or numbered to be sure you put the right strip on next in the right place. Having a picture handy would help. I think with a little practice, it could be done.
