I love your mat, the block sizes are so distinct and easy to see. Now your tutorial excellent no fancy quilting language and just straight up and direct. I have a jelly roll that is calling this to be made. Thank you again for your great and super easy to follow tutorial.💓
Thank you!!! I love this quilt and have wanted to make one - and I am a seasoned quilter! - but didn't realize the simplicity of the process. I am starting a baby quilt TONIGHT for a new little Texan, born yesterday, with this pattern. And whoever didn't like this site and posted a thumbs down, get some help.
I use left and right 45°angles, cut in pairs "R" sides together. I don't use a starting square, I partial seam the cut off top bits onto the base. All the angles go to the outside, which gives you straight edges. No waste.
I saw one tutorial with a 2.5” to start, then a 4.5” then a 6.5”. Alternating the 4.5” with the 6.5”. So I’m trying that first. If it fails, my dog will get that one, to be honest he’s getting it no matter how it turns out! He will love it. Thanks for your ideas guys!
So glad you liked the ideas! Thanks for watching! To receive notifications about our live RU-vid events and receive exclusive offers text TRADE to 833-351-0814. Hope to see you again soon!
I loved your tutorial! The "Braid" quilt is one of my favorites, and your choice of fabrics and colors was awesome!!! I can't wait to make this quilt someday! By the way, Brody, you did a fantastic job teaching us all how to make this quilt. Keep up the good work! I will look forward to seeing more of your tutorials in the near future.
Thank you so much! We are so glad you enjoyed the tutorial! Join us for fun and great fabric at for our live sales on Tuesdays and Saturdays on RU-vid at 5PM Pacific Time. Hope to see you there!
I'm a fairly new quilter and I can't express just how much I appreciated the way you explained this quilt. I've seen the pattern but have been afraid to try it because it looked complicated. Thank you so much for showing just how easy it is and I can't wait to make one!
Thank you thank you for this video. I'm a new quilter and have been needing to make a quilt for one of my grown up grandsons ... all in black and white (geometrical patterns). It has been daunting trying to find a pattern that I thought I could actually accomplish and I think this will do it. In fact, I have almost finished a row. So excited.
Have been wanting to make a French Braid quilt for a long time. Your video tutorial shows just how easy they are to put together. I will make one in Christmas fabrics today and hope it turns out as nice as your did.

Thank you! Great instructions. I had a jelly roll in my stash and always wanted to make a braided quilt. You made it quick and easy a after 2 days I had the top done!!
Odd that RU-vid suggested this to me tonight. I’m not a quilter! I have made three quilts though in the past 6 years. When a friend told me she was making a mask scraps quilt and then said mine scraps were too small I decided I would make a mask scraps quilt. I cut all the 2.5” x 6” pieces I could. Then started making blocks from my smallest blocks. I only finished 5 - 8” squares before I stared back to college. Nontraditional student. So today I started making the braid from those 2.5” x 6” pieces. Thank you for the review.
Maybe “ bulk” isn’t the correct term . It was simply an observation. I have never sewn with the fabric to the right of the needle. I’m not saying it’s wrong. He didn’t need to flip the fabric over to sew that seam. Carry on Brody. If I was any more loose I would unravel.😉
Great minds think alike! I’m in the process of making a braid border. And I’m using fabrics I bought from Sew Year. I’ll post a pic on Instagram tomorrow.
@@miladorotea2338 I starch all my fabric right before I use it. I NEVER buy the stuff in a can I buy StaFlo liquid starch & use I part starch & 2 parts water. I use a spray bottle to apply or if they are large pieces I use a pail.

It was interesting to watch you sew the 6" strips together: you always put the newest strip on top. That meant that every other strip you were using the left side of your presser foot as a guide and the excess fabric was in the throat plate area. I probably would have flipped my piece over so that the newest strip to be added was on the bottom and I could continue to use the right side of my presser foot as my guide. I assume you choose to leave the newest strip to be added on top? Any special reason for that? Thanks! I love making braid borders!
Thank you for this easy to follow video. Loving the way it's turning out but my first braided row is measuring 7 1/2" wide after drawing my trim line but the pattern said it should measure 6 1/2". I''ve double checked the pattern and I'm using 6.5" pieces and 1/4" seams. An inch wider is quite a bit so I don't want to keep making some kind of mistake on subsequent rows. Any ideas?
😍😍So sorry I am just catching this .I am trying to catch up on the comments. Hope to do better in the future. Thanks for watching our lives. We appreciate it !!!!!!
Buen día gracias por compartir sus proyectos bendiciones un favor cuando puedas con partir el tutorial de laberinto mgtaria mirarlo gracias bendiciones para todos 🙏 desde Colombiaa
Thanks for watching! The quilt shown in the tutorial is 43" x 68". So you would still probably need close to the same amount of jelly roll as shown in the tutorial. Here is the link for the pattern. bit.ly/3bpKnMP I hope it works out for you! Send us a picture of your finished product!
Hello! That was an older jelly roll that we had for just a short amount of time. So sorry about that! We currently have lots of beautiful jelly roll options here: sewyeahquilting.com/search?type=product&options%5Bprefix%5D=last&options%5Bunavailable_products%5D=show&q=jelly+roll Thanks so much for watching!
Looks great. Try to speak a bit slower for us old folks who are a bit hard of hearing. When you slow down it’s easier for me to understand. Thank you 😊
Hello! You should make sure all your fabric is pressed before you begin. Then you are usually fine to just iron the finished top before quilting. I hope this helps. Happy quilting!
Thought the 'French' part was the 2.5 square on the right side strop??? Through the center there should be 2.5 Sq. Making a Braid. Like a girls hair !! Could someone comment !!??
There are different ways of making the 'braid' pattern, but this is a simple and quick way to get the beautiful look of this French Braid quilt. Thanks for watching!
i don't like patterns that waste fabric...I would rather do the 3 Dudes Quilt pattern with a jelly roll...no waste, and you use the whole thing...no cutting off fabric.
Thank you so much for watching! A video about sashing and finishing quilts is a great idea! We are sorry this video didn't have that information for you! We hope you can watch some of our other tutorials that have other great quilt and project ideas as well. We are also in the process of updating all our tutorials so hopefully we can provide more information like this in the future. Thank you!
