April Bunnies and Carrots

The theme for the whimsical Pieceful Patchwork banner for April from Shabby Fabrics is Bunnies and Carrots. The colors just shout spring with the lilac and pink and I like the detail of the mini bunnies on the fabric for the bunnies' ears. I was careful to fussy cut that fabric so all the teeny-tiny bunnies were upright. As usual, I cut out the fabric and organized it in my tray with Alphabitties and Clover Wonder Clips. I made up the two bunny heads first.

Then I assembled the two carrot blocks. The clear greens and bright oranges for the carrots are super happy choices. The instructions for the angled carrots were quite clever and clear. They were not paper pieced.

The fabric for the sashing and border also smiled at me... the pastel plaid, a just-right yellow (not too loud and not too pale), and the saturated teal. I will add the bunnies' eyes after quilting.

Here is the quilt sandwich ready for FMQ. My labels and binding are ready to be attached after quilting. It is time to ponder the motifs/pattern I will use for the stitching.
