Two French Braid quilts

This French Braid quilting design seems to be popular.  I worked on two of these recently- fun to see how different fabric choices can really make the same pattern look very different.  The first one is black + brights, very fun for a kids quilt.  I used the Pizzazz pattern for this quilt, with variegated brights thread.
The other one had cool blues & whites for fabrics.  I used the August Rain pattern for that one.
