K, all your work is so beautiful and this will be no exception. Don't keep us in suspense. Finish and post :thumbup:

Try alternating the direction of the braids, with and without the setting strips. <wave>

do u have a pattern for this scrappy i would like to make it

I see at least 18 strips in the picture. You had at least 13 in the first picture, I think, and you said you had one more than 1/2 the strips then. If my memory and math is close to being right, you have only about 4 or 5 more to go.....you are in the home stretch...you can win by a strip....er....mile!

does anyone have the pattern for this quilt

This is a simple template I found but it is easy to do with 2 inch by 4.5 inch peices.

This is amazing! You MUST finish it so we all can be amazed!!

Please don't stop, this is what quilts were originally made to be. Scrappy but functional. Love it and thanks for sharing your hard work with us.
Just saw your audition of sashing, the black really makes it pop. Please don't let it be a UFO.

Please, please finish and display in your own time.

It will be beautiful, shashings or not. Can't wait to see it finished.
