Very nice

Consider a sampler quilt. I would have never considered a braid for a block, but I have since seen some pretty classy sampler quilts with the braid included. <wave>

I have seen the books but never turned me on but yours are beautiful. I think I might like to try if you do a tute.

Here is a bit of a tutorial on producing a braid.
To place the red squares at the peaks, you will want to sew a red square on one end on one side of your strips for the braid.
The large square is placed on point so that the braid is attached from two sides of the square as you build your braid out from the square. <wave>
