Sweet bunny love

Down the rabbit hole I went again😀.  These cute little guys have stolen my heart.  I can see them in all different color ways. But I kept it to only two for these finishes. 


Just imagine this bunny hopping around in the green Easter grass. The gingham might represent the fence and he's such a good little bunny staying inside the fence. 



The next color was a pretty purple, and man was it hard to photograph! It kept coming out blue instead of purple. I asked my hubby for ideas of how to make it more true to the color. He came up with shining a red light at it while I shot the photo and it worked!  The purple might be a field of lavender or lilacs that the bunny is frolicking around in. Both of these have the same backing fabric. 



I have also started a little baby quilt in order to try out the Hunter Star Accuquilt die.  Now I have used other methods of making a hunter star and I thought they were great. However now I am totally liking the Accuquilt die. Everything lines up so nice and it is easy to sew. No Y seams.  You make four 6" blocks and join them to make a 12" block. There are four blocks here. I am thinking I'll do nine blocks for a 36" quilt and maybe add borders. We'll see, I'm just playing and enjoying the process with no hurry to get it done. 

And to get out of the sewing room a bit here and there I have been putting puzzles together this month. A friend loans me a few at a time. This hummingbird is a whole different kind of puzzle than I am used to. The only ones I have ever done are square or rectangular and this one is just the hummingbird attached to the flower with only his beak! The brown is my card table.

  2. what cute bunnies! The Hunter Star is one top that I need to continue working on to a finish this year - maybe when I get done with the Snails Trails. I like the block is an easy one to do

  3. The bunny runners really are sweet. You created cute little scenarios for each :) The hunter's star blocks look great in those fabrics and will make a nice baby quilt. I've never seen a puzzle that wasn't square or round, but the hummingbird is fascinating.

  5. Cute bunny faces! I’m glad to hear about the accuquilt dies! I’m really in the market for a cutter, but keep wondering, is it worth the money, will I really use it?

    Oh, and your puzzle is amazing!

  6. I have a hard time photographing purple, too - where do you get a red light? Glad it worked for you! Those are cute as can be! Love the Hunter's Star, too - I've never made that block, but have it on my list. Great puzzle! Was it tricky with no straight edges?

  7. The bunnies are reproducing - just like real bunnies. These are adorable and I am sure will sell in an instant. Love your hunter star, and of course, accuquilt would make it the quickest way. I have the Studio 180 rulers and that is a pretty fast and accurate way too, but nothing like a BOB die to make it fast.

  9. Those runners are so cute! I have made a couple of quilts with the HS die and I really love it. I did one that was totally scrappy so I got a little confused with my seam pressing direction. The dark/light version went together easier.

  11. Hi Vicki! Wow, I've never seen a puzzle like that! That's cool. I've only done rectangular ones but we purchased some 3D ones for Sue's brother a few years ago. LOVE the bunnies! I'll bet they are already sold! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
