I had exactly the same problem as you did, and I solved it exactly the same way..by cutting it into blocks. I wish I knew what the secret to doing a nice braid is...but I don't. I know Bonnie has directions at Quiltville tho...so maybe??? *G* Sending big hugs, FinnFinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17677133672404343036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555344617895972769.post-81537429341355598072008-01-31T11:03:00.000-07:002008-01-31T11:03:00.000-07:00What a beautiful quilt and a great, fun way to dea...What a beautiful quilt and a great, fun way to deal with a challenge.<BR/><BR/>I actually think it's more fun to be surprised how things turn out.

Mine is fairly scrappy and heck, it will not matter that I stay stitched it one single bit if I go this route. Thank you, thank you! I'll go edit my post and link back to yours, okay?<BR/><BR/>My bands were also a bit narrower but borrowing from Mary Ellen Hopkins, I CAN cut a square whatever width that braid finishes.Linda Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585942908710656032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555344617895972769.post-8324984266697146532008-01-29T16:16:00.000-07:002008-01-29T16:16:00.000-07:00As the old saying goes ~"make lemonade if you wind...As the old saying goes ~"make lemonade if you wind up with lemons".<BR/><BR/>Looks great from here.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10585878295754436629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555344617895972769.post-83617679697238034832008-01-29T15:49:00.000-07:002008-01-29T15:49:00.000-07:00You planned that all along didn't you??? :-) If t...You planned that all along didn't you??? :-) If that was made from a mistake.....then that's one beautiful mistake.
