Scroll through and follow along. We'll have a lot of fun together.
Patchwork Braids
Braids are a great design element to add to your quilts, either as an accent, a border or a key part of the block. In this book, Kate teaches how to make and use braids, and shows different ways to play with color, size and design to make the most of the technique:
- Braids as an accent strip?
- Braids with squares for a pop of color?
- Braids as a border?
- Pieced braids for even more flexibility?
It’s all here with 13 new projects including quilts, bags, pillow tops and table runners. Brought to you by C&T Publishing.

On The Quilt Show
And in the second half of the show, Kate shows her technique for partial seams putting the finishing touches on your quilt.
Check it out, you won't want to miss her!
