I love all the colors, great quilt.

thank you all..

Wowza!!! That is absolutely beautiful..... I love scrappy quilts!

Great job! I have a batik kit to do a French Braid, can't bring myself to cut up beautiful fabric yet. Was your pattern hard to do?

Actually - it was not. A friend of mine showed me how to make it. I'm sending you a sample of how it is put together. You will need to cut 2 1/2" x 5" strips of light & dark fabrics. I used my reminants. The lighter colors are on the left & darker colors are on the right. Once you have the length you need, you will need to trim the side points on each side & sew them together. I hope these instructions are clear. Let me know. Marta

Very Nice! I love the scrappy look and cheerful colors.

Love your quilt. Thanks for sharing directions.

Beautiful quilt and it looks huge. Thanks for posting how to do it. I always wondered about that pattern and thought it looked too hard.

Your quilt is gorgeous!! Nice job!! :D :D

It's an absolute knockout...and thanks for sharing the technique.

NICE !!

Oh--how pretty!!!

I've got to make this! It's beautiful!

The color placement is great. Never thought to do a light and dark side. Good job.

Marta,
What a beautifully colorful quilt that is going to be!! And it is HUGE!!!! Great job!!

I love it!! I still have lots of scraps, eventho I have made a strip-piece quilt of my Mom's pattern. Also a Log Cabin quilt.
So, I have been thinking of a Pioneer Border Braid Quilt like yours. Am wondering if you can tell me about how long it took you to make it.

Y'know, I took the workshop on French Braid from the author of the book. As I recall her name is Jane Hardy Miller, but she is called Rusty. Anyhow, it was so complicated the way she taught it that when I got home with my one panel of four that I had intended to make for a table runner, I just packed it away in my UFO box and haven't looked at it again. You make it sound so simple that I think I'll get it out and try once more. Maybe it'll be easier without the teacher standing over my shoulder telling me how to do it. To be fair, I have to say that I don't really do well in classes. I usually do better if I just watch the others and then try it when I'm all alone. I wonder if anyone else has this kind of quirk?

Beautiful. Aren't these braids fun to make. I like to use them between sashings as part of the sashing or border on my quilts.

I love scrape quilts, this really came out beautiful.

Gorgeous--so bright and cheerful!

Thank you for sharing the "how to" of making this design. It is just stunning. Great for scraps. You did a great job too!

Hi, Actually, the lady who shared this pattern w/me - simplified it and oh my gosh - it's so much easier to make. I have so many 2 1/2" x 5" strips cut out that I can probably make a full size. What a way to use up your small scraps. I too do better watching someone cut & put things together - I am a visual person & do so much better that way. Let me know how you do.

Love scrappy and this pattern has been on my to-do list for a long time.

Very bright and colorful. Great work. Have you decided how you are going to quilt it?

that is beautiful. thank you for sharing. Penny

Beautiful work....and so colorful

I have no idea. Do you have any suggestions?

Really like the colors looks so nice.

Oooooh, I really like this one! WOW...if I just cut my 5" charms in half...hmmmm this might be the border to use on one of my planned projects. Thanks so much for sharing the photo and the explanation of construction!

Oh, my... this is yummy.

I really like these braid quilts and LOVE the bright scrappyness of yours!
