Beautiful french braid. Stitch in the ditch is what I did.
This was my 3rd attempt at making a quilt. I was very much a beginner. I had a terrible instruter who never said a work to me about bias cuts. I had v ery wavy strips, it was awfull. I cried to say the least, felt defeated but thanks a group of wonderful women in my guild. they helped me take it apart and cut and trim to the point I now have a beautiful quilt.

I love your quilt. I have one that I do not know how to quilt as well, so I can't help you.

Can't answer your quilting question, but your top is beautiful.
