I am finishing a quilt for my daughter and was looking for another project since my husband has requested one for himself. He is 6"4 and he wants one that will cover him completely from head to toe. This looks like one that I will have no problem doing and finishing within a couple of months. I always get tired of making blocks before I get to the size I need it to be. Thanks for this great discussion, can't wait to go back to the fabric store to get busy on it.

I've never done a French Braid, looks very easy and probably goes fast. Thanks to all for the free pattern websites. I really love all the information I get on here.

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.

Sharon, thanks for the basting stitch tip. My eldest daughter orders from Amazon regularly and has added Jane Hardy Miller's "French Braid Quilts" to her order list. I have a mental image of how I want my FB quilt to look and I don't think my stash has what I want, so it will be fabric shopping time after I get the book.

I'm hoping it goes fast too! My hubby's step grandfather just started chemo and I want to make him a quilt to keep him warm during this time. He's very frail and in his 80's so we don't expect him to make it, especially since he has stage 4 lung cancer. Poor man!! So I need to make it very quickly! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is a quick one.

I made my first quilt in Sept. It was a French Braid from the book "French Braid Quilts" by Jane Hardy Miller with Arlene Netten. There are 14 patterns in this book and there is also another book by them that has wonderful unique designs. I am new to quilting and love all of your pictures. When I figure out how to get around, I would love to share.

What are "ME panels"??

Machine embroidery, Margie. Every other panel in the French Braid quilt (photo) that I saw and loved was an uncut strip of fabric, the same width as the French Braid panels, with machine embroidery down its center. It was really stunning.
