    Beautiful. Did you have a pattern? Love the colors. Were these precuts or yardage? Do you remember how much fabric you used? I want to make a king size and am not sure now much fabric I need. Thanks for sharing. Hope mine turns out half as nice as yours. BrendaK

    Brendak I had the book French Braid Quilts "14 Quick Quilts with Dramatic Results" by Jan Hardy Miller. Since I didn't make any notes in my book I don't know which one I did. It was easy after reading and studying the instructions for a bit. I ordered my fabrics online so there was a 1yd minimum so that's what I had to start with, but it didn't take more than 1/3 each for the braid strips to the best of my memory. The book is worth ordering if you want to make one. I got my from Amazon.

    Very pretty! Especially in those beautiful batiks. I've had this pattern on my list for along time, including a Christmas tree skirt. I should get busy! Gotta retire!

    Don't you hate it when work takes away form quilting time?
