Bunny Bonanza

I made this quilt a whole 18 months ago.  Even had it quilted all those long months ago, but, umm, since it was for my family, no binding.  I'm horrible at that last step, I don't know why I feel that this step is torture.  

I printed photos of our pet bunnies on paper backed fabric, I haven't washed the quilt yet, so I'm hoping the photos hold out in the wash.  

We had four bunnies, 2 pairs, one passed away last weekend, so I wanted to put the binding on the quilt and put it back out on the sofa.  

With nine photos the quilt turned out square, but it is really just for a reminder of our babies, I didn't work on not making it square.  Also, I was using fat quarters and they were all used up.  

I have just one more circle of flying geese to complete for NuBees November, I am liking this block!  I even found one harder I'm going to try.  

The black baby girl - Pepper, was her name - was the one who passed.  She was bonded with the white bunny - her name is Bandit.  

Now we are trying to get this guy to become friends with little Bandit.  Success?  Looks like it.  

Loose Threads

I have a lot of unfinished bee business and projects for this month, well November.  I decided to make the ring of flying geese for my NuBees group on flickr.  This was before all the ER Vet regular Vet and hospital visits of the month began.  So, I'm a little behind.  This is for one of the girls in the group, I'm getting better at the foundation piecing thing.  My first attempt left a lot of holes in the project.

My one desire for the whole entire month was to finish my Modern Christmas Tree quilt top.  The odds were not in my favor.  The block isI ha 15 1/2" square unfinished.

These are Kona solids to go with the Michael Miller Christmas fabric.  The pink is fuschia, the colors don't come out well in the photos.  The light green is a Kiwi color.

The tree in progress.  

These are going to be presents in the intersections.

I wanted to add skewed presents with bows at the bottom.  I made three before I decided to make the bow different.  The top left has the bow I went with.

I finished the top.  Still not photographing well.  It looks much nicer in person. 

This is my friend Meryl Ann Butler's book.  

And this is where I helped her out.  

See, Me!
