Making It With Allie - Modern Baby

Hello friends!
How have you been?
I have been pretty busy but have finally had a few moments to take some pictures to share with you all!

Last week I was working on a baby-quilt for one of my clients.
She informed me that the quilt had to be gender neutral but otherwise, I could pretty much do whatever I wanted.
Did you know, there really isn't such a thing as "gender neutral"???
But I won't get started down that path.  I might have to rant.
So.... I decided given a few things she told me about the mom-to-be, that brights would be a good starting point.
So, I carried on with my "modern quilting" self and ended up with the snuggliest baby quilt ever!
The back has super soft plush and satin and the front is geometric brights in a modern stripe pattern.
I assembled the binding to match and coordinate the striped section of the quilt.







Can you believe I forgot to get a picture of this one in full?!
Sleep-deprived.

I deliver my quilts wrapped.
This is how this one was delivered.

Now, it's time for the
Making It With Allie Party!
What have you got this week?
I am anxious to see!
You all are SO inspiring, I can't wait!

Making It With Allie - Tap! Tap! Tap! Is this thing on....

Hello friends!
I had to take a break from blogging.
I have been SO busy that I just didn't have time. 
I literally haven't even had the time to take pictures of all the work I have been doing.
Christmas, from me, was a handmade Christmas.  So, with all of the relatives to have gifts made for, I was extremely busy.
Then, I thought the traditional trip to Florida for Christmas would be leisurely... HA! That was a marathon.
Then, I thought I might have a chance to get a breath after Christmas, but that was wishful thinking.
So, needless to say, I am catching up and getting pictures taken to share with you all in the coming weeks.
AND.....
I am planning some REALLY fun (in my opinion) things for those of you who would like to participate.
So, I am SUPER excited! 
And I hope you will all bear with me as I get things rounded up and together to share with you.
And to share with you what I started this evening after the little Princess went to bed -have a look at this and tell me how these colors and arrangement strikes you! -I appreciate all your feed-back!
The bright colored strips are finished 1 inch wide and the white strips are finished half inch wide.
