I thought I saw a reference to quilting as you go on a french braid pattern, but even w/search feature, I can't find it again. I'm interested in trying this and would be interested in getting some tips before I start. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)

Yes, I have made two of these table runners and my tip be sure to mark your batting very carefully

Have never made one, but plan on it.

I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. Can you provide more details?

There was a thread here recently about quilting a French braid in sections. That's not quite the same as QAYG but it does mean you can quilt a large quilt more easily in a domestic sewing machine.

That's what I thought I saw too, but can't find now. If anyone comes across the link, please post it for me! Thank you!

Quilting in sections wasn't the main topic, but it was mentioned later on. The book Quilting in Sections by Marti Michell is an excellent source of information. It explains a number of ways to quilt in sections and tells you how to decide which method to use based on your quilt's design.

I got my book yesterday. I haven't gone all the way thru it, but it sure give you some great options on quilting without dealing with so much bulk at once. I plan to try it out on my French Braids.

Thanks for the tip!
