We’re two months away from our 1 year anniversary and it’s been amazing to watch the growth of The Modern Quilt Guild since we began.

The LA guild is having a ball!  Lots of wonderful activities have gone on…

    When are your meetings? I’m from Camarillo, in Ventura County and would LOVE to join a modern guild. Thanks.

    Hello Latifah,

    I LOVE, LOVE your stripped quilt. How did you quilt it? What are the dimensions? It looks wider than 42″, did you cut your fabric width wise or are there seams?

    Thanks,

      Hey Beky! Not sure if Latifah will see this but I remember that she cut her fabric widthwise so there are no seams. Amazing quilt!!

      • Latifah Says:

        Hey Beky! The strips were actually cut lengthwise – which forced me to buy a lot of fabric, a yard and 3/4 of each color. But, it prevented me from having seams AND since the fabric is more stable along the length of the fabric it makes the strips very straight. The dimensions are roughly 63″ x 82″.

    By the way, does the sign on the left behind the Door say “Make Shit Your Self”? If so, How can I get one?
