[quote=quiltinghere]I'm working on a TWO braid quilts right now. When finished the overall width will be a little larger than yours but the height will be about 6 feet. We can challenge each other to work on it DAILY for at least 1 hour. I can do it - can you? (wink wink)

GLAD to hear you finished up 2 more rows and cut more charms all in one day! WOOHOO!! You go girl!

I finished up another column (I can't call them rows because to ME rows go left and right and my construction will make them go up and down - hence columns).

3 more to go (or 6 if you look at it that I'm making 2 of each column) I look at it as 3... :lol:

When all the braids are done - PREVIEW the braids on a solid piece of fabric - just lay them out (fold back the corners that you're going to trim off later if necessary) - and then think about adding a strip in between the rows. It would make a resting place for the eye (if that's what you want). Mine has a red charm IN the colums so that's where the eye will rest.

I used the PREVIEW method when I made another top and was trying to decide if I wanted a lot of the 10" squares to be the same fabric with a few different ones thrown in. It was better than cutting up all that fabric only to discover I didn't like it. Maybe I can post a picture later,

Strip - no Strip - that'll come later - Keep Sewing! LOL

I love it! Keep going! :)

I've seen some books (I think) on braided quilts, but was wondering if someone would be willing to do a tutorial on here.

I really like this but am confused how you sew the pieces together to get this effect.

Toucansam- I found a free pattern online- let me look at home for it. Something and Sultry it was called.
