I made a California King with 7 rows of braiding. I used 3 jelly rolls (had some left over and used them for the binding!) I cut a triangle of 12 inch square and cut the strips into 8 inch lengths. I put 3 inch sashing between the rows and put 6 inch border on it. I had enough of the jelly roll left so sewed them together for the binding! The sashing and border took almost 5 yards and the entire quilt was batik. Hope this gives you a rough idea of what is involved. I do want to say that I pressed each seam after it was sewn, as the next seam crosses it. My friend was happy with the surprise.

I made a french braid quilt for my son. I cut so many pieces that I made a rail fence quilt, also a large queen size, that I call the fraternal twin. I have at least enough strips cut for the triplet! It will be a future project! It is a good thing that Rob chose fabrics that I love. I didn't actually have a pattern either. Didn't even think to ask.

Thanks for sharing the homespun tutorial. Looks like a easy to follow tutorial.

This video link by Eleanor Burns is for a friendship braid but would be so easy to adapt. http://vimeo.com/49051464
