August 10

First picture of my French braid quilt.  Background is black and white, the double chain is bright greens and reds.  It is going together very quickly, all panels are completed, and the sashing is done as well.  Went to the quilt shop late yesterday to get red fabric for borders and outline sashing.  Asked for 2 1/2 yards.....  got home, laid it out on the cutting table and realized the saleslady had cut just 2 yards!  So now, I am off to another quilt shop, hoping to find the fabric I need and not have to drive quite as far as the first shop.  So I am happy to see that Esther's next BOM uses red fabric!  Hoping I have enough for it.

    The french braid is fabulous. Did you design this yourself or is it a commercial pattern?
