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!
A dear friend of mines Katie had a beautiful baby girl, Cici in December of last year. This project was almost completed. But, it has taken me this long to finish it up and give it to her! Life sometimes happens and before you know it months have blown by! But, it was made and…
Love the movement on the front, straight lines on the back. Beautiful.
Gorgeous quilt! Once the baby is wrapped up in the blanket, the circle will be made whole.
This is one of my favorite modern quilts! Just beautiful!!!
Oh my gosh. You blow me away! You are stupid talented!!!! You need to sell patterns for all this, or teach me. One or the other. This is awesome! Great job!
[...] latest baby quilt and the lovely Latifah who ALWAYS inspires me with her beautiful use of circles and half circles. I will have a play with the fabric and see if it works scrappy or straight. I am a huge fan of both [...]
This is so gorgeous. I love all your quilts. I would love to be able to make something like this!
Love, love this quilt. Great job on every part of the quilt.

I think it’s the most beautiful quilt I’ve ever seen! I’ve never made a quilt in my life but this one is so beautiful it makes me want to try! 
) Thank you for the inspiration.
Just beautiful!
Oh my, this is AWESOME!!
This is really awesome and I love it!!
Just lovely! Stunning, actually. The quilting lines are brilliant!
I LOVE the CC quilt! Definitely one of my all-time favs!!
Oh my goodness. Dare I say that quilt is your best, yet? What a treasure for Katie and Cici. YOU are a treasure for Katie, I know, but that quilt is just beautiful. The colors are gorgeous, and the quilting is just divine. I could gush for hours.
Guess what mom? I’m a teacher now! I’m teaching my “Perfect Puddles” Modern Circle Sampler Quilt at Sew Modern in Los Angeles. My mother always said that I’d be a teacher – I just don’t think she thought I would teach quilting. So fun! We had our first session this past Saturday but, if you’re…
I wish you were closer to Connecticut so I could take a class with you! I’m so happy I found your blog at 1:42 am est! March 4, 2013!
Absolutely LOVE this quilt! Any chance you will be offering the pattern for sale?
Amazing. I am so proud of you. Yes, I always thought of you as a teacher.
I love your creativity. Quilting has come along way. When will you offer a class for kids??
Hi! I just stumbled onto your blog, and this quilt is FANTASTIC! I can easily see why folks would want you to teach it. 
[...] last Perfect Puddles class. Isn’t it great? Instead of the baby size quilt like the original Perfect Puddles, she decided that she wanted a lap quilt so we added borders to it, first framing the original [...]
LOVE this. Really great.
Wow- that is so creative and the quilting is stunning. I love it!
I love this! You’re right, the quilting looks great on the reverse. I wish I could sign up for this class, but the commute is a bit prohibitive.
So impressive! Your skills amaze me!
I love this quilt! I love all your work, you have an amazing sense of color, technical ability and layout. Lovely.
Love this quilt and I love all your work. Your use of color, contruction and layout is really extraordinary.
Love this pattern….Love your colors….Great job!!!!
I love it! The back might very well be my favorite part.
As a student who will never graduate from quilting school, I really appreciate that you designed the quilting to use the walking foot.
It’s adorable.
What a great project! The white looks like a bezel setting for a clock face! Really fun twist on a sampler!
This is a wonderful quilt! I love how you put so many different techniques into one quilt, including all those circles!
I love the way you talked about the colors. Main, feature and POP!
love it! now is there a way to beam over to la from the east coast to take the class?!
What a great design! Any chance it’ll be a pattern/tutorial for those of us who don’t live near enough to take your class?
Gorgeous!! I haven’t gotten the courage to face circles yet. But It’s definitely something I’m looking forward to trying. Yours are fantastic!
I love love love that Erin McMorris line. I have the bikes in several colors.
Love the quilt, the circles really set it off!
Really lovely. I’ve got to get back to my circle project!

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!
