Creative new quilts Blog Hop

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 Smile That’s ok right?

  1. 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.

  2. Wendy is one of my favorite designers and PEOPLE! I actually like your colors better than the 2 versions in the book. Well done.

  3. I've always liked the black, white and red combination. Your version looks wonderful.

    i love your quilt. especially the butterfly tag.thanks for sharing.quilting dash lady at comcast dot net

  5. Ohhhh I do like the adult version of this quilt. It's so fun to see how different fabrics give completely different looks!

  6. I really like the grown up color version you made. This has been a fun blog hop to follow. Thank you.

  7. 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.

  8. Love your quilt and the Island Batik fabrics! This looks like a great book.

    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.

  12. 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!

  14. Red and black are great together although I have not made any quilt that combination yet. I love your custom label!

  15. 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'

  16. red black and white works so well together and your label is a real beauty

  17. 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.

    I love the red and black one. As always, you amaze me. crystalbluern at tds dot net

  19. 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

  20. 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.
