wow- just looked at the french braid homespun quilt link---now i want to make one too- that is wonderful!
i would not have thought homespuns would be a good candidate for a french braid but seeing one really is inspirational! i just love it---hmmmm i wonder how many homespuns i have left??? probably not enough- i used up most of them on my strip home spun quilt in the picture --- i think i will re-think my ideas of what you need to use for a successful french braid:thumbup:

Thank you for your replies! I'm excited for Monday to get here so I can begin something new!

I never thought that much about homespun until I saw found this link and then I was hooked. I recently was given a few and can't wait until I can collect some more to make one. I think it's a stunning quilt. Who would have ever thought.

Thank you for this link! Another quilt I want to make now!!

ckcowl I can see way your brothers love these quilts, I love it also.
romanojg thanks for the link I'm going to try that, love it. But I think I'll use feed sacks.

Too Nice
 

TY for the compliments on my homespun French Braid quilt! Y'all are so nice!!

My guild gave a quilt challenge to make plaids and stars. I made the spider web from Missouri Star Quilt Company using their template and paper and it turned out neat. See what the guild thinks of it.

I think it would be fun to do a 1600 quilt where the strips were like this. Now I have to figure out if it's possible or not. What's the name of the pattern you used?

oh judy...LOVE it! might have to do that one myself....i have lots of homespuns...this could be a great use of them!

I put a site up here before for a french braid done in homespun fabrics; alot of people liked it. I'm collecting them now so that I can make one. I had never been interested in french braids or homespuns until I saw this patten.
