Thank you Dee! Quilting is so exacting, and with this I feel like you can enjoy the process without the stress of everything matching up. I think getting in there and sewing for practice and enjoyment is how we really learn.
So excited to use this. Picked up some jelly rolls and was debating which pattern to use. Cannot wait to get started this is my first Jelly Roll quilt.

Loved the tutorial. Amazed at some of the responses that I felt were rude and inappropriate. I wish I found this before I made my braided “king” size quilt. Trimming was the pits for me and I didn’t know anything about starting with the square. Thank you for spending your time making this tutorial. I appreciate you.
Thanks Linda!! I really appreciate it. Yeah, people seem to forget that it's FREE content for them and there are more than one way to do the same things. We all have different styles of teaching and sometimes it takes seeing the same idea presented a couple of ways for it to click. Your comment is very encouraging and something I really needed just now.
I just received a jelly roll from eBay and I was looking for a new pattern. I tried your braid tutorial, and it’s so easy. It came out awesome, I love it. Thank you.

I just found your channel and I love your Energy! I love houseplants,Especially Jade & other succulents. I enjoy baking as well. I’m a widow for 25+ years Blessed with 2 grown children. My son will be 33 in Sept & is happily married (Del Ray Beach, FLA) my daughter is in MA she’l be 30 (I live in MA too) we check in weekly I enjoy baking I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your plant tips
Oh Melissa, thank you so much!! I've been on the fence about whether to make any more plant or garden videos this summer. The garden is very different for me this year. I do appreciate you kind comments and I will have to work in something new. Thank you for a kind comment. Means so much!
So Beautiful! I am not new to sewing and in the ancient past I tried to create a quilt totally by hand. Then babies happened. I still work full time but now kids are grown I have more time to do learn new skills that allow me to create. Your French Braid Quilt Tutorial and your joy have inspired me! I now have a path for the first Jelly Roll that I purchased a few weeks ago. :-)
Hi Jamie!! This is a fun block to sew! When I get myself organized for the new year, I'll work on plenty of projects that use this block. There are many smaller projects you can do with quilting that don't require making full sized quilts. Thanks for sharing your story!

I'm so happy you found this tutorial Cheri! While I am by no means an experienced quilter, I found this project and it has brought me so much joy. Creatively, it is such fun to put the panels together. And you can practice you 1/4" seams and pressing without the demand for perfection. Which I think is freeing.

Oh gosh, Judy! I'm so happy it helped you! As I'm getting my sewing space set up in the new year, I'm 'm planning on doing projects that use this fun pattern, so I hope you will stick around for that!

Thankyou for your tutorial😊. I made 9 of these, and plan on using them in a quilt. I used batik material, bright and colorful, and plan on using my braids on a black fabric for my quilt. It’s gonna be striking! Thanks again…AND also for making me feel better about all the thread that’s on my floor too! 😂
That's great!!!! I love this pattern and I actually need to make a couple of new projects using them. Oh yeah, as far as the thread on the floor goes...I give everything a good vacuum and it's good as new!
Oh gosh Bonnie!! Thank you so very much for saying that! I really do try to be clear in my instructions. I'm planning to film some new tutorials soon, so I hope you will enjoy those as well. Thanks for your lovely comment. I do appreciate it.

Truthfully, Marlene, it's not the best way to press out in quilting. You don't want to stretch the fabric or the blocks. BUT>>>>>these were crappy, cheap strips in this jelly roll. I had to work on them extra to get them in place and straight. So be mindful of your fabrics as you work. I wish I had explained that better in the video.

I'm so happy to hear this Brookie! I definitely think this is the easiest place to start in terms of a quilt square, even though it looks quite complicated. You can practice your cutting and seaming and when you sew panels together, it's not critical they line up perfectly. I find this is something that you do that will not only be fun, you will learn and improve your sewing skill. Thanks for your lovely comment!

I love French braids and find them lots of fun to do. I have a ruler that you can cut the diagonal line on the strip. Saves a bunch of fabric. I also put a triangle on the bottom of the strip (like your 2 1/2" square) and sometimes at the top.
I used a binding ruler, cutting left and right at the same time. The section can be quite long with jr strips. I used partiat seams at the start, then after cutting the top straight, add the off-cuts onto the base. The sides being squares, works for chevrons, also with partial seams, but being cut at the 45° stops waste triangles from taking over. I am looking for a white to use between braids for a large quilt. Small town, can't pay on internet... fun.
I have the tool to make these. It saves a lot of fabric. I haven’ tried it yet because I am up to my ears in Christmas quilt making but I am sure I will get hooked on the braid.

Watched you today for the first time and must say I enjoyed your straight forward way of teaching. Will be watching your older vids. Have the same sewing machine that you have but also enjoy embroidery. Have a Viking and only did projects for my late wife and miss the ooha and awws when aproject is finished. Am in my late eighties and sew for my own enjoyment. Keep them coming and I'll keep watching.

Yes Pattymac, ThankU for reminding me of this simple, fun & attractive piecing method - i had forgotten about it after discovering it years ago as a "fishtail." I will try to get right to it, again!
I have not seen one of your videos before, I enjoyed it very much and have loved the braid look for some time but was not sure how to achieve one, Thank you very much. UK
You’re welcome 😊 Lovely to meet you Ann and I'm glad this was helpful! I wound up making these into another bag and I absolutely LOVE it. I need to go somewhere so I can use it! lol

@@brendawellnitz6150 Gosh Brenda, I don't know, really. I don't make full sized quilts. I would think 12 x 24 blocks would be a better scale on a project of that size than what I typically make. I make small projects and mini quilts so my blocks are generally not too large OR the one block is my whole project.

I have not, but I made these braids into a large tote bag. I use it constantly and it's held up so well. I'm going to make a new one from the beautiful jelly roll I showed in the community post page. Next month at this point.

Well thank you 😇 very much! I just found your channel and I will be watching all your tutorials, any thing quick is for me my brain goes for one thing to the next so I am just finishing up a 3yard quilt and now I have something new to do with all the leftovers thank yo 😍😇

Thank you for the clear, thorough and well paced instruction! It was great that you explained that it will be much smaller when trimmed. New sexist don't always realize that. I've made these before without the square at the beginning and they can get "tweaked" without that to hold everything firm. You can strip piece these by doing two or more rows at a time, but that would be confusing for a beginner.
Thank you for the feedback Catherine! And thank you for noticing that this is designed specifically for brand new people. Quilting can be daunting to get right, and I think it can take the wind out of someone's sails to put so much emphasis on bias edges and strip piecing. I think it's preferable to get someone going and build that confidence and have fun with something first. You have to learn by doing, and if you are struggling from the start to get pieces cut right and have every seam perfect, it sucks the joy out of the making. I think precision can come with time. I'm working through the process of building beautiful HST units now, and it's definitely a process. If I had tried these when I first started I would be totally overwhelmed. But building up to them and making several small projects that incorporate the unit gives me confidence to sew them into a larger project. And even though my early projects are not perfect, I find I still love looking at them!

You're welcome Erica! It's a fun and easy way to use scrappy left overs. I've made them into panels for bags, I'm working on a wall hanging and I have an upcoming pillow idea to share.

YES!!! It's a fun panel to make!! You can make series of them, stitch the panel together and make all kinds of projects. I made a tote bag that I absolutely love with this pattern.

Patty, I just love your video on the braid. May I suggest that you can use a foundation fabric and then you don't have to cut your strips (6") until after you sew the braid. This gives you something to baste those bias edges to (side seams won't stretch) and leaving tips of fabric on the strips for possible future use (frugal). Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Ms Karin
Thanks Ms. Karin! I will look up that technique! I had only seen this done in the bag video I mentioned so it was a matter of compiling other video tutorials I could find into this one. Do you have a video or blog post to point me in the right direction? Sometimes the best information is buried and impossible to find with out a reference.

Thank you so much for such a well shown and explained tutorial!!!! :D This is the best one I've come across that shows exactly how to put this together! I just finished the first braid and on to the next. TY :D
If you add one more strip to the top then you can use that cut off top as the bottom for the next section. I’ve also sewn them all in one long braid and then just cut the length of sections that I need
That's a GREAT suggestion!! Thank you! I pieced together several videos to figure out how I liked making these, and I have not seen your input anywhere! My next go around with braids, I will that. I was thinking that adding a square to the top as well as the bottom would also be a way to get more out of the panel. Thank you!

I would love to see a tutorial on putting the bag together. I had to stop making large quilted products due to a neurological problem, but I think I could complete this project!
I have considered making a bag tutorial, but bags like this are so many steps. It's a lot to film and explain so I haven't done it. I would like to share other smaller, simpler bags, and I do plan to do that sooner than something large like this. The bag like this one is not difficult, but it's a lot to film and I''m not sure how many views it would actually get. You might consider a Craftsy membership to try out bags and other small projects there. And and also, I do primarily small quilting projects in the form of pillows and wall hangings or baby sized quilts, so that might be more manageable for you. I hope that helps!
@@PattymacMakes Thanks. Could you just tell me how many of the strips you used, front, back, bottom, sides?? I have made many bags before I lost my fine motor skills So, I may be able to figure it out myself with a little help. Thanks!
@@carolleepoulis9879 Oh Carol! That's so hard! I. made 3 panels on each side. And a border along the top and long straps. I didn't use a pattern. I just made the outside panels using 3 braids, sewed on the top strip and then quilted. Trimmed it square, cut inside pieces using the outside panels for size and put it all together. I did a pretty big boxed bottom. I did not use a pattern. I just put it together. That's why I haven't done a video. I would have to give people measurements and specifics and it's so many pieces. The bag video is still on the Midnight Quilt Show channel that I worked from. But I interfaced and used fusible quilt batting on the outside panels for more structure. I hope that helps!
When making garments you backstitch at beginning and end. When quilting you do not backstitch at either end because they will be joined with another 1/4 inch seam.
Thanks Rainy! I backstitch mostly out of habit, and if I'm not chain piecing. If I sew using tabs then I go just sew straight through, but for my braids I use the backstitch.

Keep going for a border. Watch those biased edges. Can you use the offcuts to start a new braid, since you first square becomes a triangle once it’s trimmed? And those last top pieces, are they a 6” piece minus a starting triangle? Perhaps we can economise here. Ooh this looks very pretty. Thank you
I love this easy pattern so much. I think sewing the cuts would be awfully fiddly since they are such small bits, but you could certainly try it. I get so little time to sew and make projects that I allow myself the space to make and enjoy it and don't worry too much with scraps. I don't save any scraps though I know a lot of people do. I don't have space for it, so I toss the scraps once I've completed my project. I'm not the thriftiest maker out there. But you should do whatever works for you! And if you can figure out a way to reuse the scraps, I think that's great!

I was looking for an easy pattern to teach my niece how to quilt and I came across your braid tutorial. Great video and so easy to understand for a beginner. I was just wondering what size is the square you started with. Would the square size change if you used a longer length jelly roll strip. Thanks, Maria
Hi Maria! I used a 2.5" square at the bottom of my braid. if you cut longer strips for your braid, yes the bottom piece will need to be larger. And it will eventually turn into a triangle shape. I would start with this since it has measurements and uses the width of the quilting ruler to trim down. Keep your first projects and blocks easy. Otherwise it's easy to get discouraged. I hope that helps.

You explained so nice and slow for us beginners to understand. My question is the bag lined and what about handles? Would really like to start making Christmas gifts.
Debbie, the bag I made is linked in the description and on that video it links to the tutorial I followed. I have since remade that bag and made a few changes, but you can see the tutorial by clicking through and looking at the bag I made prior to filming this. I wound up using these braids in the second bag, and made some upgrades to that one as well. I hope that helps!
You could use them in just about anything. I have sewn mine into tote bags that I use all the time, and I constantly get compliments. I really should do a video on how to use them in projects, though.

Thanks for the great tutorial- I’ve only made a few quilts and wasn’t going to do anymore but you’ve inspired me! I love the bag! Do you have a video on the bag, as well?
OH Laura! I'm so happy to hear this! I think making smaller projects is the way to really stay motivated. Once all the blocks are assembled, a quilt can get pretty tedious. I just finished one, and while I LOVE it, it took me so long to finish it. I do not have a video on this bag, but I linked to the one I used in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MWMR8BcHXM0.html I have since made another one, and I think it's a better project. I may make a video showing my version sometime in the fall. I also made a little patchwork zippered bag as a companion to go inside the bag. Thanks for your comment and I do hope you will make some of these. I think they are super fun.
Pattymac Makes yes, your right, I took a couple quilt classes and they went out of business and I had only the top portion finished, I had no clue, on putting the rest of it together. Thankfully for RU-vid I was able to finish it. I thought, I’m never going to take a big piece of material and cut it all up, then sew it together! Lol. I then did an eight inch square quilt, for my Son (breaks my heart, to see his dog enjoying it) if he only knew. But your absolutely right, smaller projects will keep my interest! Thanks for the link! I’m your new subscriber! 😀
@@lauralynneh It really is a form of insanity, isn't it? LOL!! I made mine largely using precuts in the form of 5" squares and I thought "How hard can this be?" Well, two weeks later, I'm finally finishing it. It's only a twin sized project, because I can't fathom putting anything any bigger than that together on my own. It's for me to use as a cover up when I get to have an afternoon nap, and it will live on the end of my bed. I'm going to do a coordinating pillow, and I think I'll make that as a video for the channel. And I will make a couple of smaller quilts for wall hangings and stuff like that. At least the doggy has good taste. But oy, I can imagine how that must feel. People really do not have clue. Which is why I don't make anything for anyone else. HA HA!!!

They are called precuts! They come in standard sizes and packages like these are all 2.5" and called a jelly roll, and 5" squares are called Charm squares and a 10" square set is called a layer cake. They include all the fabrics in a collection so you get to play with them all.
