I tried to post on Fri. but failed to get the picture on. Trying again...
I was inspired by Shadow dancer and her braided border a few months ago and wanted to try it so I did it on "a little one"!! It was made from scraps that were sent to me by my daughter in Ind. with a pattern that I had admired. Worked it up with this variation using my first attempt at pinwheels. Delivered it to my other daughter in NC and she loved it!!
It was a good lesson on pinwheels reminding me that sizing them correctly is necessary!!

Re posting pictures

Click on post reply if you are replying to someone. Then click attach files - then the computer should ask where your files are. It says browse on my computer and I just find my pic and click on open. then click on submit. You must do this before you try to preview. This works for me.

Hope this works for you.

I am so glad you kept trying to post your quilt. It was worth all your efforts! I love your pinwheel layout and your braided border is to die for! I downloaded your picture for future reference!! That is definitely a "need to make this one". Thanks so much for sharing. :D

Gorgeous! You did a great job. I love the fabrics you used!

That braid border looks wonderful on that quilt. Great job! :) :)

It's purrdy! That's a pretty small braid, did you find it difficult? I love how the whole thing "moves". :D

it looks great!!!!!!!!! I love making those braided borders!! I made a Christmas stocking once using those braid borders...

Marcia, the pattern is from McCalls Quilting Quick Quilts Summer 1998 if you want to see the whole thing!

Carole,
This is very pretty. For those who do not know what you are trying to do ( I am one ) this is a very beautiful wall hanging !!! Don't be too hard on yourself !!f Unless you are wanting to enter a contest... Great job on color choices and wonderful design !!

Great job, it is beautiful and I love the braided border. It just sets it off.

Thanks for your kind comments - I made a braid to test the construction and size using 2 1/2" by 6" scraps. That was way too big for what I wanted so used a 1 1/2 by 4, I think!!!! Don't even have any scraps of is as I used what was left on a strip across the back to add interest! The little quilt was sent on to my daughter so don't have it to check!
Happy quilting!
Carole

The border is beautiful and goes really well with the quilt. You did a great job on that one. Love the colours.
