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 interested...

Amazing. I am so proud of you. Yes, I always thought of you as a teacher.

Juandessa - June 23, 2011 - 1:02 pm

I love your creativity. Quilting has come along way. When will you offer a class for kids??

Lynette - June 23, 2011 - 8:24 am

Hi! I just stumbled onto your blog, and this quilt is FANTASTIC! I can easily see why folks would want you to teach it.

Lynne - June 17, 2011 - 10:44 am

LOVE this. Really great.

Jennifer at Ellison Lane Quilts - June 16, 2011 - 4:21 pm

Wow- that is so creative and the quilting is stunning. I love it!

Amy - June 15, 2011 - 11:46 am

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.

Lisa - June 15, 2011 - 9:19 am

So impressive! Your skills amaze me!

Heather - June 15, 2011 - 6:44 am

I love this quilt! I love all your work, you have an amazing sense of color, technical ability and layout. Lovely.

Heather - June 15, 2011 - 6:41 am

Love this quilt and I love all your work. Your use of color, contruction and layout is really extraordinary.

amy - June 15, 2011 - 6:17 am

Love this pattern….Love your colors….Great job!!!!

Melissa - June 14, 2011 - 8:03 pm

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.

jan - June 14, 2011 - 7:02 pm

What a great project! The white looks like a bezel setting for a clock face! Really fun twist on a sampler!

Leanne - June 14, 2011 - 5:07 pm

This is a wonderful quilt! I love how you put so many different techniques into one quilt, including all those circles!

Adrianne (Little Bluebell) - June 14, 2011 - 4:57 pm

I love the way you talked about the colors. Main, feature and POP!

yahaira - June 14, 2011 - 3:08 pm

love it! now is there a way to beam over to la from the east coast to take the class?!

Funky's Mama - June 14, 2011 - 2:25 pm

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?

mn2nm - June 14, 2011 - 1:56 pm

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!

Nikki - June 14, 2011 - 1:10 pm

I love love love that Erin McMorris line. I have the bikes in several colors.

Love the quilt, the circles really set it off!

Dan - June 14, 2011 - 12:46 pm

Really lovely. I’ve got to get back to my circle project!

Harold the Bear and the B-Boy Quilt

Posted in Baby Quilts, Finished Projects show hide 7 comments

As some of you know, I’m a little obsessed with giving gift “sets” for baby gifts. Generally the set will be a quilt and bibs, burps and a ball. But, this time it is a bear. And I actually saw the pattern for the bear first and then whipped up this quick quilt to go...

Herringbone Linen – Modern Whole Cloth Quilt

Posted in Baby Quilts, Finished Projects, Quilts, Solid Quilts show hide 22 comments

I love looking at quilting in new and fresh ways. Oftentimes “new and fresh” refers to looking at traditional and established methods and making them your own. I’ve been thinking a lot about designing whole cloth quilts. I’m a little hesitant in calling this a “whole cloth quilt” because most whole cloth quilts are such...

Oh I just love this. Very clean, fresh and I love the thread choice too. Excellent quilting.

laura lewis - April 24, 2011 - 1:09 am

seriously. i very rarely comment on blogs, this is INCREDIBLE.

Peacock Chic - April 15, 2011 - 9:59 am

Amazing!!! The design is so simple yet looks so AMAZING. Love the color choices too.

amandajean - March 9, 2011 - 9:56 am

this is an utterly fabulous quilt! nice, nice work!

Cheryl Arkison - January 28, 2011 - 3:52 pm

I’ve had herringbone on the brain too, but haven’t acted on it. This is incredible!

Bonnie - January 25, 2011 - 9:28 pm

Love your blog, Latifah. It is so YOU!

Latifah - January 24, 2011 - 10:46 am

Yes mjb, I find that restraint is one of the biggest design challenges but, when it is effectively utilized the result can be stunning! So glad you like it!

mjb - January 15, 2011 - 8:56 am

I love the bold solids here – I would’ve been tempted to use a print on one side, I think. The quilting is really beautiful.

Kate - January 10, 2011 - 11:55 am

LOVE. I love everything about this quilt, simply gorgeous!

NancyinSTL - January 10, 2011 - 10:11 am

I love your quilting aesthetic and just realized that this was another one of your quilts. To me modern means beautiful in simplicity, so I think calling this quilt a modern whole cloth is right on the money. You seem to know how to make just the right choices of colors, fabrics, thread, and design.

By the way, the pattern in the bricks behind your quilt would make a great quilt design too.

Margaret - January 9, 2011 - 4:37 pm

Love this! The green in the binding looks like it’s from Basic Grey’s ‘Origins’ line.

abi - January 7, 2011 - 8:33 pm

I favorited this on Flickr and didn’t even realized it was you! I should have known…you always make my favorite quilts Awesome work, as usual.

Angie - January 7, 2011 - 7:43 pm

Beautiful quilting – it really is a nice way to make a thicker stitch. Great job!!

nichole - January 7, 2011 - 12:27 pm

i have been dreaming of herringbone so much lately! this is so, so lovely. great job!

Melissa - January 7, 2011 - 11:12 am

Stunning. Absolutely stunning. I love the variegated thread, too! What a nice touch. )

Liz Harvatine - January 7, 2011 - 9:46 am

I love it so much Latifah! It looks so cute in the room and I can’t wait for the baby to use it!

Sara L. - January 7, 2011 - 9:26 am

Wow! I came here from flickr, because I love this quilt, and the close-ups in this blog are making me a little faint! That thread is luscious. I think I have to go to the quilt store…

Beautiful job!

Stephanie - January 7, 2011 - 5:51 am

I love this quilt so much it’s making me feel a little woozy. Now I NEED to make a modern whole cloth quilt.

kelly - January 7, 2011 - 5:51 am

like everything else you make, this is beautiful and interesting. i enjoyed just reading this post, too! i guess i did a “whole cloth” (or plain – since i wouldn’t call it an intricate work of art) quilt, but i had no idea that’s what i was doing! it was using star wars sheets, but still.

yahaira - January 7, 2011 - 5:38 am

everything combined to make a gorgeous quilt. I love whole cloth quilts and have been daydreaming about one since I saw a very lofty one in cream at a eco-store. if I can find the perfect batting I’m going for it with some shot cotton.

Elizabeth @ Don't Call Me Betsy - January 7, 2011 - 4:58 am

Latifah, this quilt is so truly amazing! Thanks for the education on whole cloth quilts, I’d never heard the term before. Yours is just stunning. I love that stitch you used on your machine, it looks practically hand quilted! That variegated thread looks just amazing – I haven’t tried it before, but now I definitely want to!! I love the pieced binding, too. Stellar job, as always!

Debbie-Esch House Quilts - January 7, 2011 - 4:45 am

This is an amazing quilt! I love the idea of a modern whole cloth quilt. I love the thread you chose and that it contrasts on the front and blends on the back – the best of both worlds!

My Bold quilt isn’t whole cloth, but it has minimal piecing and the color and the quilting are the stars.

I tried to insert a link here, but am not sure if it will work in a blog comment. If not and you’d like to see my Bold quilt, check out my eschhousequilts photostream on Flickr.

I love your work. It is very fresh and innovative. Great Job!

mjb - August 30, 2010 - 11:54 am

I’m impressed that you go to the extra effort to make the onesie, burp cloth, etc! I figure a quilt is enough of a gift and stop there – not to mention your cute packaging in the basket.

beth - August 30, 2010 - 6:27 am

great quilt!! I used the giraffe print in a quilt recently and struggled with coordinating fabrics. Your choices are wonderful.

Kim - August 29, 2010 - 5:18 pm

That’s such a cool design! And the matching card is too smart!

DianeY - August 29, 2010 - 4:25 pm

I love it! The colors and design are perfect, as well as your other little gifts! A I wouldn’t change a thing about your wrapping-so sweet!

Debbie-Esch House Quilts - August 29, 2010 - 6:38 am

What a great quilt – and all the other gifts too! Lucky baby!

Rebecca Merry - August 29, 2010 - 6:33 am

So bright and cheerful! I just love the traps!! What a brilliant baby gift!

Andrea - August 28, 2010 - 8:57 pm

It looks great! You are very talented. I really like the pattern and how your fabrics work together.
