The center square fabric really pops! Lovely runner.

I have never seen a French Braid done in a color choice like yours and absolutely love it! Thank you for sharing!

What a beautiful runner. I made one but mine didn't turn out near as nice. You should be very proud of yourself!

I pulled fat qtrs. from the free ones I got recently to make this. not necessarily what I would have picked if I were buying them. but free is free. Here is the fabric box I made out of the other square left over. A few months ago I made a runner out of batiks. that one turned out much better.

After looking at your runner I decided that today was the day. Well I just finished my first French Braid runner and I am not so sure that I like it. When I look at it I think that the print I used for the middle square and the small squares should have been on the outside and one of the solids should have been in the middle. Oh well live and learn. This one is just for practice. Am I correct in that you made yours bigger than the one in the pattern? I think that I will make mine longer also. Hopefully my next one will be as nice as yours. Thanks again for the link. BrendaK
