Yellow Braids

I recently purchased The Quilter's Bible by Linda Clements and I instantly became intrigued with the braided border technique.  This gave me a chance to also create a quilt in one color range.  So I gathered up the new yellows that I just purchased at Joann's and took out a couple of fat quarters and began braiding!  Today I made 5 of the braids....I am planning on making 10 braids (each with 20 blocks) and stitching them together with sashing and a border to make a quilt for my guest room.



As you can see I have all of my pieces resting on my Juki machine.  She was so tempermental today that I had to abandon her and use my Singer Quantum to piece. Each piece was 3x6.  As usual I used Masterpiece Thread in the top and Bottom Line in the bobbin.



 
Stay tuned for the finished product!
