Batik French Braid
#29
Thanks for the kind comments everyone -- I really appreciate it!
Why not do another? I think it's all the planning that made this one take so long.
Find the right colors... make sure the size of the braids are what I want... once the braids are done, how much room do I have left for the separators... should I piece the separators too... black or white borders...
There are just TOO many options and I know I overthought everything.
The pattern itself is quite easy to do. Don't let that put you off.
I was being really picky and questioned EVERYTHING... to the point where I would put the fabric up on the wall to see what I wanted for the color runs, once put together, put them back on the wall and stare at for three days picking out the separator band fabric...
It's a fun pattern once you get started. I hit the "analysis paralysis" stage too many times to want to do this one again. There are many more patterns that I want to try. I can't wait to see how I approach the Bali Wedding Star one... LOL!
