French Braid is finished!

I can't wait to deliver this Quilt to Celeste tomorrow.  I know it's a Christmas gift, but it turned out soooo nice - I wish she would show it----anywhere!  Tomorrow's quilt is another Christmas present - and the one after that, and the one after that, and the one----you get the idea.

Here's a close up of some of the quilting detail:

and one more...

French Braid

Today's Quilt was pieced by my friend Celeste, the manager of all things Bernina at Thimble Pleasures in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I think she told me this is a Christmas present. The Quilt is a French Braid and is offered as a class from time to time at Thimble Pleasures. You can find the pattern in the book French Braid Quilts by Jane Hardy Miller. I've decided against an overall pattern, although I have seen this quilt finished this way many times very nicely. I think you'll agree, custom was the way to go here.
