Two of my nieces' quilts

This is Pat's houndstooth quilt:

Many thanks to the internet.  I had a hard time deciding what to do but then Jean Shute (I think that was who suggested this) on MQR had suggested this for a houndstooth quilt.  I like how it turned out.
And here is Phyllis' quilt.  Love the serpentine border.

I used Hobbs wool batting in Phyllis' quilt.  I wanted the appliques to "pop".  I like how it turned out also. 
I am so proud of my nieces, Pat, Paula and Phyllis, all do great work!!!  So glad that love of quilting has passed to the next generation!!!  Love those girls!
