The colours are stunning and I love the centre block...very unique. I can hardly wait to see more.

I believe that the frenchbraid is probably one of the easiest patterns to make. It goes together before you know it and all of a sudden its almost done. I will be making another FEW!!!lol If you like the center square just pm me with your address and I will send it to you. Thanks for all of your comments

How will they be joined together? I've not made a French Braid anything.

It is really SHARP!!

hudgoddess 06-03-2011 06:49 AM

Great color choices! Be sure to handle your braid strips carefully and ease/stretch the braid strips to carefully measured borders. I've seen people chop the ends off a stretched braid when it could be eased in. Yours is too pretty to mess up like that!

jograma 06-03-2011 06:53 AM

Very striking colors! Beautiful.

noahscats7 06-03-2011 06:54 AM

Absolutely beautiful. Just keep on what you're doing.

That is neat and straight. Love the center piece. Will you be posting more as you go along.

I love it!

jljack 06-03-2011 08:54 AM

Very very nice. I love your colors, and that center block is just wonderful!

I have made 1 frenchbraid, and I was a little timid with mine. If and when I make another one I will be more bold with it.

coachmatthewsvhs 06-03-2011 09:12 AM

If you decide you don't like it,.... I know where you can mail it!!! BEAUTIFUL
