It's very beautiful. I did a braid quilt. I forgot that I had biases so it got all stretchy. How did you keep it all stable?

The braids don't line up? I think you need to get on a horse. Looks fabulous to me!

I forgot too - and I had to trim it a bit more than I wanted to. I actually trimmed it on the livingroom floor (moving a cutting mat instead of the fabric). It was an ugly process but worth it.

BTW - I hate bias!!! :)

Ha! I also have that washstand, but mine is honey oak colored. It came with an antique bowl and pitcher and I payed much more for mine than the great deal you got yours for, lol.

Your quilt is really lovely and I like all the colors you chose. I'm sure your friend and her new spouse will always treasure it. Thanks for sharing.
