I have not made a French braid quilt nor have I done a QAYG. Is it possible to do a Fr braid using QAYG method? I'm thinking one could piece the strips, quilt them and then put quilt together using QAYG. Does that make sense or am I missing something???

Seems reasonable to me. I've never done a French braid quilt either, but I did a qayg that was strips of blocks. :-D

It certainly is worth a try. Keep us posted:)

I've done the braid and I've done qayg, but never together. It seems that you should be able to do it to me though. Good luck and keep us posted.

i would think you could, row by row.

The first two steps - piecing the strips and quilting - can be combined into one step.
Then those long already quilted strips would be combined with others (plain - maybe with applique, or braided) using one of the QAYG methods.

Good idea. There was a tutorial/quilt along a while back. It was called Stitch
and Flip. If you look at this you can see how you can adapt if for your French Braid. I'll see if I can find a link for you.

Here's one.

Thanks for the site.. I can see that it'll be a big help to me!

You're welcome. Maybe you could try with some scraps first. That's what I did because I was really curious about this method. Sure was fun. :-D

I made a French braid and quilted it in sections on my DSM. I used the book by Marti Michell to learn the techniques.
