The pattern is called Raspberry Twist French Braid. The centres in the pattern were machine embroidered, but my fabric squares were almost identical. The fabric ranges from simple blenders, batiks and some fairy frost. The pattern was in the magazine "Quiltmaker's Quilting & Embroidery" Fall 2010. It really was a fun quilt to make.

This is the second French Braid I have finished in the past six months, and they are twins (both identical). I made one for my BF and her husband for their 25th Anniversary last fall and one for myself. She caught me making mine and fell in love with it. At the time I was making her a dresden plate as a surprise, but, she decided to make one herself, so I need a different course of action. The dresden plate, I finished and gave to my DSIL for all she does for my MIL. The French Braid I had actually posted on here for border ideas back in August I believe. The fabric for both was from my stash and I quilted it on my Tin Lizzie. As you can see from the pictures, I am still learning with my Tin Lizzie, but, I am having fun. I am very happy with the end results and since they are twins, I will only post mine, as she has yet to give me pictures of hers.
