French Braid Pattern
#1
I just saw (and drooled over) a combination French Braid and machine embroidery quilt photo (alternating long panels ... one Fr. Braid and the other unbroken panel with ME on it). I looked through my stack of quilting books but cannot find French Braid instructions there. I have not yet looked through my magazines; I've never properly flagged the 'good stuff' in them, so it would be a huge undertaking to browse through them all and I'm basically lazy. I saw a book specifically devoted to Fr. Braid quilts for sale, but before I buy, I'm wondering if any of you have seen any free French Braid instructions and can steer me in that direction. I could figure out how to do it on my own, but would really rather not.

Here's a free pattern for a braid that might help. http://www.quilterscache.com/B/BraidBlock.html
Otherwise, I highly recommend this book: http://www.amazon.com/French-Braid-Q.../dp/1571203265

Hmmm, didn't find the braid on moda... but love the bib pattern, thanks!
I have made the french braid quilt which is different from quilterscache and from quiltville..... although both of those patterns are also great.
Love to see what you came up with.
