OK. This will be one of the many quilts that I’ll be posting about that I’ve made in the last year or so. This one was a quickie. Well, sorta. Last year the LA Modern Quilt Guild was lucky enough to host Elizabeth Hartman of the blog Oh, Fransson! I don’t take many classes but,…
Many of you saw glimpses of this quilt in the tutorial on the Modern Quilt Guild blog but, it wasn’t quilted yet and I literally just showed a peek of it in the tutorial. It’s a very simple quilt using HRT’s that makes for a quick baby quilt. I love the color combination of the…
That’s so pretty! I think I’m going to have to try making half square rectangles.
Such a beautiful combination of colours and amazing precision. Love it Latifah!
Wonderful quilt — love the shapes, the colors, and the WOW factor!
Through Kathy Mack’s superior radar report, I arrived here. I’m so taken with this quilt—both the design and colorway is so very pleasing. It gives me the same pleasant feeling that I get when viewing Japanese designs—soothing, comforting, peacefulness. The execution of your dream is astounding!
Sweet & clean. I like this!
the pics look great Latifah! (and the pics of your yellow tote are awesome too!!!)
I love that crosshatch fabric too. yum.
Love your work Latifah! Where do you get your labels/tags at?
I have the worst time getting pictures for my blog in general. Spring has definitly helped though. My main problem is not having time to shoot in daylight (I work full time) and my apt set up not allowing a sewing table near the window. Lovely quilt by the way!
That quilt is gorgeous! And I’ve got photo problems, too – maybe I need a nicer camera and a photography class! 
Cute quilt. I have trouble with the photos, too. I want to photograph the whole project, but then you can’t see the details or, most common, lighting is wrong, wrong, wrong. And photo editing often does strange things to fabric colors. But all your photos have always looked beautiful to me. I’m surprised to hear your question. I just assume I’m the only one who has this trouble! . And I’m also happy to see you blogging here again. You’re quilts are always inspirational.
That’s just lovely! Pinned and am going to have to make one of those for myself.
I love this quick and easy pattern for HRTs when you posted it earlier on Modern Quilt Guild blog. I’ve already used it to make a quilt for my cancer charity workshop using donated fabrics from Lauren. Thanks for sharing. AND I’m so glad you’re blogging on a regular basis now!
I definitely have that problem with photographs – seems like I often have too much or not enough light. Kite Tails is darling!
This week we’re going to look at a fun little tutorial that I wrote up on the Modern Quilt Guild blog for making HRT’s. What is an HRT? Well, if a Half Square Triangle is an HST shouldn’t a Half Rectangle Triangle be a HRT? Plus, Half Rectangle Triangles is just too many syllables so…
I’m so glad I found you! I love all of your quilts and your aesthetic! I like that you approach quilting with an engineering mind. My husband is an engineer, and I don’t have any of that in me!
There was one particular quilt that sent me here and it is behind you. It’s orange and white with two blue stripes. They are spherical. I just can’t find it on your blog.
I’m excited to try this tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing. I wish you the best of luck in the future.

After seeing this quilt, (in it’s many stages) you’ve got me so itching to try that tutorial. love this quilt.
super cute and innovative!
Since Katie, Cici’s mom, is an active member of the Los Angeles Modern Quilt Guild I figured she would get lots of quilts for little Cici so I wanted to make her something more than just a quilt. I hadn’t sewed garments in a LONG time so I wanted to do this and I wanted…
I love tour work and your bog. Thank you!
I love to quilt, I started sewing at a young age also. I am drawn to bright colors and patterns also. I can’t find a quilt club for myself. I am from Pennsylvania and the old fashion quilting.
That coat is so super cute. It looks a lot like one my mom, who didn’t actually really sew, made for me when I was tiny. I still have it hanging in my closet, 50 years later. Mine was (is) sage green wool, lined with something silky, but it had a little velveteen collar.
And guess what my nickname was when I was that age? Cee-cee (because I could not say “Lisa”).
Isn’t that funny?
That little jacket is so super adorable. Great work!
Super super adorable! It’s such a cute set! and I’ve been looking for a dress pattern that’s not too complicated for a friend and I think I might be able to handle that dress!
My daughter would love something like this for her little girl.
those are really nice! you did a great job on them!
Beautiful outfit-your work is very professional looking. The pleated sleeves are a wonderful subtle touch that add class to the garment. Lining makes it all so much nicer, too.
Oh gosh, you make clothing now too?! Too adorable for words 
As much as I love freewheeling quilting, I have to admit following clothing patterns can be very rewarding. Yours turned out beautifully.

What a beautiful and simple quilt! That ball is awesome! I might make one to match the quilt I’m making for my friend and her baby!
I LOVE THIS!!! I’m going to try doing this. Your work is wonderful. I would love to take a class from you!
I love the ball too……do you have a tutorial?
What a cute set! Is there a pattern I can find or buy somewhere for the ball? I’m dying to try that!
I LOVE the ball! Is there a pattern you use? What great colors!
