Bunny Hop

I have been hopping along on my old projects.  The monthly wall hanging for June was going to showcase a fat quarter bundle that had some bunny prints.  I fussy cut them and then started framing them.

Another learning experience.  It is too big for a wall quilt.  The frames should have been thinner.  I am also leaning to more of a modern look for the hangings.  To calm it down I went to me default setting which is solids.  I found every pink I could get my hands on.  Rearranging these blocks brings out the OCD  in me.  I moved things around for some time and then got disgusted with the whole thing.  Needless to say this had stalled but I got a hold of a bunny tail or two and just sewed it together.

Now the question is whether or not this qualifies as a finish.  It'll be a baby gift so no rush to finish it.  But the UFO Busting project is all about really finishing.  Because machine quilting figures heavily in many on my to-do list I might as well get started honing my skills again.

I have the backing, batting and binding all figured out.  Now to clear the big table so I can get hopping!

That's a really cute baby quilt. Baby quilts are the best for practicing quilting because babies don't judge!

It will make a wonderful baby quilt. Good for you for persevering!

I still haven't started my list of WIP or UFO's yet. But I did gift some to my guild's charity quilt program... does that count?

You certainly are Hopping right along the Bunny Path on finishes. This is looking very fun and I adore all the pinks to coordinate with the fussy cut bunnies. Well Done Bugs...
