Thanks very much. I printed the quilterscache one and was pleased to see that I had guessed correctly about how the pieces go together. The book is one I saw in my on-line search yesterday.

I just finished a French Braid quilt and I used the pattern from Quilters Cache. I would recommend you sew a basting stitch down the sides "before" cutting; to reduce the bias acting up :). Something I learned AFTER the fact :). Can't wait to see it.
