The photos throughout the book are amazing and show you just what colours go together to give you a vibrant Braid strip to add to quilts, as well as using them as side pieces to extend your quilt or even to add colour to your bindings.

Good instructions. I'm not feeling patient enough to try this right now. I see Fat Quarter Shop has paper piecing braids.
