I love braided quilts -- in fact one of the very first quilts I made was a braided one. (long pause while I look for a photo, realize I don't have a photo, go take a photo and upload it...)
I took a class to learn how to do this; everything about this early quilt is a little wonky -- especially the quilting -- and I'm not thrilled with the pink fabric in the sashing, but I still like the overall effect.I know there are a couple of books out on braided quilt techniques -- have you tried any of them?

What a sweet pink quilt. I've never tried a braided quilt, but it looks like lots of fun.

Your little quilt turned out great. I haven't tried making a braided quilt....yet!
The braiding looks tricky, and I must say how impressed I am. The overall effect is stunning.
A couple of years ago I took a class on the braid quilt. I had tried it on my own before and it always got skewed before I got very far. The class helped me make a more uniform braid, but after getting home I never finished the project. This makes me want to dig it out. I love your first quilt--I'm impressed.
