Well this post made me go from just look in the window to coming in and joining the group. :D I have been looking in since about October. I have learn a few thing helpful to improve my quilting and have seen some BEAUITFUL quilts.

I to have been inspired by Shadowdancer to make a french braid. It has been added to my want to make list. I have already bought the fabric to make it but alas I have four quilts in process to finish first. I'm hoping to make it for a Christmas gift.

Now to the reason I jumped in. I found on the web instructions (word doc) for a table topper make in the same pattern as Shadowdancers french braid. I don't think it's copywrited since it was a free word doc. I don't remember what website I downloaded it from.

I am attaching the work document I downloaded. Hope it helps.

Great looking quilt. Must be easy to use some scraps for the squares and strips. I have a ton of stuff to use up.
