I just finished watching the latest episode in my area for Love of Quilting- I loved the quilt that they worked on today. According to the show's website, the quilt is called "Batik Braid Quilt" & the directions can be found in Fons & Porter Scrap Quilts 2011 EQ #5.

The only problem is I can't find any sign online of this particular magazine or book; I've been searching for the last 30 minutes with no luck at all. Can anyone help me out with this & point me in the right direction? Any help you could give me would be most gratefully appreciated! TIA!!


Happy Stitching All!

Isn't EQ a software program on DVD?

Susan, this was the best I could do. The 1800 series is not available on line yet only thru public television. Quilter Chris

This is the site for getting the supply list for 1809. Thats all that is available at this time.

Good luck Quilter Chris

Susan, I saw that program last week and had the same problem. I have searched that site three times and cannot find it.

My friend gets their magazine and I searched through many copies and couldn't find it in any of them.

I wonder if it's in an upcoming magazine?

I'll be interested to see if anyone else can find it.

I appreciate everyone's help with this. I'm going to go ahead & email Fons & Porter to see if they can point me in the right direction. If I do hear anything back from them, I promise to pass it along.

I watched ito also yesterday, I really liked it. I thought they were talking mostly about using scraps from your stash,assuming the other info would be on their website. Wrong! Maybe it is just too soon, the program descrittion really talks technique, not directions...from their website...

Episode 1809: Batik Braid

Strippy quilts are so much fun to make. Marianne likes them because they offer lots of flexibility on how wide your quilt will be or how long your quilt will be. On today's program you will learn how to cut pieces for braid patchwork using a hexagon ruler, how to piece braid patchwork, and how to utilize sashing for a stripy quilt

I think all you really need is a half hexagon template, or a whole hexagon template, remembering to add a seam allowance in the middle. I've seen these at JoAnn's and Hanco c k Fabrics

google "images" for half hexagon template and you will see what I mean.

EQjis actually their magazine Easy Quilts that is a bimonthly magazine u can receive when you are a member of Quilter's Club of America .... it is also available at JA. #5 should be available mow.

I just used 'Braid' from Quilters Cache

I made a boarder for my Thimbleberries quilt, using my Thimbleberries scraps. I did not use a hexagon ruler/template, just my regular rulers.

found this

Susan,
Quilt In A Day website is having a Labor Day sale and I found the hexagon ruler just like F&P used on that show for only $4.55. It would be easy to do the braid their way with that ruler. I'm stopping at JoAnn's tonight and will look for that Easy Quilts magazine. I'll let you know if I find it.

The Missouri Quilt Co has a video showing how to make a braid quilt using a half hex ruler. Here's a link in case that helps.

I found the magazine today at JoAnn's at at LQS. It says Fall 2011. Lots of good projects beside the braided one.

Thank you! I was there today,didn't see it at all,but now I know to look for it! I liked that episode.

The pattern is in the download section and it is called Technicolor Braid. You can purchase the digital pattern for $5.00.

Here is a previous discussion about the braid quilt

The pattern for the batik braid is available on the Fons & Porter website. If you go to Shop (or whatever the link is called), then go to download and digital patterns. The pattern for the batik braid is called Technicolor Braid and is available for $5.00.
