Braid Parade Quilt

Posted By on January 23, 2008

sao 2008 Braid ParadeI have a new appreciation for our fore-mothers.  The hand-pieced quilts of yesteryear were made with love and dedication.  Here is my attempt at a hand pieced quilt – my parade of braids.  This has taken a whole week and I have used many bandaids.  I wonder if I will ever get good enough so that I won’t continually stab myself?  At least blood doesn’t show up on these gorgeous pink and purple batiks!  (I try to have a positive attitude at all times – and the truth is that I am really enjoying this project!) 

Thanks to my friends at the Quilter’s Corner (Midlothian, VA), Marla and Ginger, for picking out the fabric for this quilt.  It is going to be a surprise for my neice….and I certainly hope she doesn’t read my BLOG….LOL

Here are my first three braids!
