I'll have to see if I can make up a back with the rest of the fabric or just get a black wide-width.

I have a pantogram for the long arm that is sun, moon and stars that I'll use on it in black thread.

Wow, this is beautiful!

There is a book French Braid Quilts by Jane Hardy Miller which is all about doing these quilts with the braid design. Looks like the patterns in the book. Beautiful.
