Shadow, that is absolutely beautiful!! I love quilts the are easy to put together but look very complicated once finished!! :D :D

That is beautiful. I love the colors. I sat next to a quilter at the weekend quilt retreat and she made this pattern using batiks. It was beautiful too.

You alays come out with beautiful things..... :lol:

thanks for the link!!
I think I am going to try one out soon! I just printed the instructions off.

ooh I love this site.. soooo many projects to try and to share!

Beautiful, Love the colors.

I am debating on whether to thank you or kick you! I already have a million and one quilts on my "Do This" list, and you just added another that had to bump itself toward the very top! ARRGGHHH!!

(In other words, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for sharing such a lovely quilt, and the technique to make my own!) :lol: 8) :D

Shadow Dancer - I really do not like being jealous of someone's talent - but YOU are SO TALENTED!!!!! Thanks for sharing though - I love seeing what CAN be achieved!

THanks for the added info on patterns....how do I bookmark these site???????????? This is all new to me......

I realy like french braids and yours is great. Been wanting to try one. Glad you say it is easy and fast. My kinda quilt! :D

this quilt is stunning!

Another beautiful quilt - I don't know how you do it but you're amazing!

That's really pretty! I love the red fabrics!

:-) Hi Shadow! I love your quilt.

I started one but din`t like it as it was scrappy.I was looking how to border my scrappy quilt so had an Idea. I cut it down the middle to 2/12 inch and used it as border. Will post after I get the last border on today.
The pictures are realy nice. I guess I din`t like mine because there was no pattern to it. Just scrappy.
Probably if I had put sashing. Maybe will make another after seeing all these lovelies.

It's beautiful ShadowDancer!

I love your quilt Shadow Dancer. I recently bought the book French Braid Quilts by Jane Miller because I would like to make one of these for my bed.

I am a bit fearful of trying to find so many fabrics that will blend from dark to light. Was it hard to choose your fabrics? This pattern really demands good fabric choices to get a good result. Your choices look perfect to me. I think this particular pattern looks like an art quilt...truly stunning.

You say it went together quickly which encourages me to take on this challenge. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Like you, I would like to make one of these too. You might want to look at Jane Miller's book French Braid Quilts. She has a lengthy discussion on how to choose the fabrics for this pattern.

A hint on choosing colors ~ if you can, take pics when you line up the fabrics and look at them on the computer. I found it easier to weed out the ones that didn't look right that way. Also, if you can, leave them out on a table or design board and keep staring at them! It helps! :)

I've got one in the works. I have the braids and separator strips assembled, but not the top assembled (I'm thinking of quilting in sections and in the process of planning it out first). It does go together very quickly! I hope to post pics of mine soon. :)

Love your quilt Shadowdancer!

Thank you Katier825 for this tip on choosing colors. I'll give that a try.

Oh Shadow this is beautiful!

love the pattern...... nice

Wow........... I totally agree with all of our other seamstresses... How Beatiful..:)
