I was SEW excited to get a new quilting book and then some more fabrics from Island Batik to make a quilt from the book for this blog hop.
My quilt is this girly Ribbon quilt called childhood Memories
There’s also a cute boy version with a boat
I originally had Anja in mind for this quilt, but then I changed my mind and picked something totally different- more adult like.
Black, white and red!!
Here’s the quilt!
I LOVE IT in these colors and the directions were fun and easy to follow
I quilted the quilt in black and just did a basic meandering design all over it.
And I used up all the scraps for the backing too
I embroidered a label and had to change the name for it, as it’s more adult like That’s ok right?

Thanks to Wendy and Island Batik for a great book and fabrics!
I love red and black quilts. And yours is no exception. Seems you have had great fun with it. And you made a lovely back side, too.
I really like your take on the little quilt. Thanks for sharing
This os a really fun blog hop. Enjoying all the quilt suggestions.
Love how yours turned out
Very pretty projects. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful Bea!! Those colors are so striking!
Wendy is one of my favorite designers and PEOPLE! I actually like your colors better than the 2 versions in the book. Well done.
I've always liked the black, white and red combination. Your version looks wonderful.
Great colors!
i love your quilt. especially the butterfly tag.thanks for sharing.quilting dash lady at comcast dot net
Ohhhh I do like the adult version of this quilt. It's so fun to see how different fabrics give completely different looks!
Love your quilts Bea! mumbird3atgmaildotcom
I really like the grown up color version you made. This has been a fun blog hop to follow. Thank you.
Love your quilt
Love the butterfly.Rosemary
Very pretty.
That came out great! I love the red and black combination 🙂
Those are super cute quilts Bea. I really love the little sailboat. I owe a baby quilt to a friend, although her 'baby' is now nearing 2 yrs old. ACK. I'm so bad. That one might be an idea. I love Wendy's style and her quilts. I don't know how she does it. She has so many ideas and so many are something I'd love to make myself. I bought her last book and this one is on my list of must buy books too. It looks like another awesome book. My amazing husband often runs to the bookstore to purchase magazines which have her quilts in them.
LIKE YOUR PROJECTS! THANKS FOR SHARING!msstitcher1214@gmail.com

How cute are these? I think I'm going to have to make a couple of these for gifts or better yet, use some stash and make charity quilts.
Ohhh these are so pretty. I admire the artists who can quilt.
Just love the black & red quilt!
Wow! Your quilt is sophisticated and stunning in the red black and white!!! What a versatile pattern that adapts to such a wide variety of different fabric choices! Great job!

Red and black are great together although I have not made any quilt that combination yet. I love your custom label!
Love your color choices for this quilt.
Very cute. I think it would fit from teenager on…
I am also a lover of red, black and white. I've made one and have several more planned after I diminish the piles of UFOs'
I love the way your quilt turned out. The label is the best!
red black and white works so well together and your label is a real beauty
I love the little boat quilt.
I like your adult version, and you label too!
How very different from Wendy's versions. Just shows that we should be open to trying other color combo's and not just trying to replicate the original one (not that there's anything wrong with that.
Red, black and white is my new favorite
I love the red and black one. As always, you amaze me. crystalbluern at tds dot net
Your red, black and white quilt is so striking, its a great combination! It's so amazing seeing a pattern made in different color combinations, you would n't think it was the same quilt. tkmattson@hotmail.com
Love the red, black & white!
Red and black looks very sophisticated!! Huge impact!!
Love to make red, white and black anything. Thanks for the inspiration.
Those are the cutest quilts and then you go change the color. wow. That's really awesome. It goes from little girlish to more mature for as she grows up. I like that. I don't tend use to many baby themes in my quilts. I want the recipient to be able to use it longer that just as a baby or toddler.
