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.

I love that quilt. great job!

really lovely and all the colors just seem to flow and look so nice together. You have an eye for color!

thanks for all the great compliments. i love this group. it is so fun to see what everyone makes and to show our own stuff.

nanabirdmo, I just love what you did with this pattern! I missed Shadow's quilt :cry: which I'm sure is beautiful. My list of TO-DO's just continues to grow....sure hope barnbum's virtual life expectancy thingy is right!!

Great job Nana!!!! I love your colour choices!! I have that pattern in one of my books and have plans to make it!

Thanks Celeste. Boy, that is a faaaabulous quilt. Certainly another 1 for my to-do list!!

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

well I'm glad you had fun with your braids! Mine drove me crazy when it came time to put the strips together!! (Hot Tamale post)....

I found a pattern online but don't remember where it was....
