    Quilting a French Braid quilt

    I need advice help from someone more experienced than mr.

    My son's graduation quilt is a French Braid and it really came out nicely. I am one evening away from starting to quilt it, and I really don't know what to do with it!

    I am going to quilt a braid / cable in the borders, but I am stumped on how to quilt the braids. The book suggests quilting in the ditch around the separator strips and down the center of the accent squares, but other than that, I am at a loss.

    Anyone quilt a French Braid quilt before? Any hints?

    I haven't done one, but saw a beautiful one at our last quilt show. It was quilted with feathers in each piece of the braid. Was gorgeous-- but maybe a bit more quilting than you are wanting to do! Please post a picture when you are done!

      I was not familiar with French Braid Quilts. Beautiful pattern.

        I just finished piecing the top for my first French Braid Quilt and was looking for ideas of how to quilt. How did you wind up quilting yours?

          Barbara, this was originally posted on 2008. You might want to send an inquiry directly to Beth through her TQS profile.
          You can do that by simply clicking on the little envelope icon below her photo above.

            If you look on her profile page she describes how she quilted it and you can enlarge the picture a bit. I was surprised by how she said she quilted it. It sounds very nice.
