Katrina from the EQ Forums helped me with the technical aspects of drawing this quilt design. Apologies for the photo quality, it was the only one taken and I no longer have access to the quilt.
Hi Donna,
Would you consider sharing the deign in EQ7? I have worked with designing a french braid, but it never came out as perfect as yours. Thank you, Patsy
Thanks Sally, the pattern came from “French Braid Quilts” by Jane Hardy Miller, and was quite straightforward to do, so you could manage it. I just played around with shading a little, until I got the effect I wanted.

Donna, I love your color scheme. Your quilt is beautiful.
Hi Libby, the colours came from a fat quarter pack called “Terracotta” put together by Batiks, Etc., they no longer offer that particular one, but they have one called “Bonfire” that is similar. Thanks so much. Donna

How to export an image of your virtual quilt from EQ
With your quilt displayed on the Quilt Worktable:
Click FILE > Export Image. The Export Image dialog displays.
In this dialog you’ll select the folder location for saving the file, give the file a name. You should name your photo file using this sequence: First letter of your first name, your full last name, underscore, EQQuilt. For example Jane Doe would name her quilt, “JDoe_EQQuilt”.
Click the down-pointing arrow for file type selections. Files can be saved jpeg.
The next dialog lets you specify the size of the image and other options depending on the file type that has been selected. You should choose 150 dpi and a width of 8”.
When taking a photo of your finished quilt, you should follow these guidelines or we may not be able to display your quilt in the gallery.
The quilt must be hanging vertically straight.
Take the photo straight on (the quilt should not be on an angle).
The image file should be larger than 600 pixels. If you send us the original photo without any editing, that file should suffice.
Do not crop out the background.
Do not cut off the borders or binding in the picture.
You should name your photo file using this sequence: First letter of your first name, your full last name, underscore, FinishedQuilt. For example Jane Doe would name her quilt, “JDoe_FinishedQuilt”.

Very nice Donna. I have been trying to do this on Eq7. How do you do the long strips like that?

I could see this on my living room wall. I don’t usually buy patterns, but I would buy this one.
You go girl!
