Baby Girl Braids

This design is pretty interesting: a template to be used with 5inch charms or 2 1/2 inch strips.  The pieces can be pieced together to make hexagons, or I like them a lot as braids! In this quilt, I made 4 braid strips.  Instead of placing them side by side as in other quilts, I decided to make them chase around the quilt.  I machine quilted in the ditch around each shape, then free-motion swirls in the center.
This quilt is for the baby daughter of one of my son's childhood friends. Congratulations!
