After seeing
Cathy's brown bunnies on her blog Sane, Crazy, Crumby Quilting, I had to make my own. Hers looked so much like a real stuffed bunny, if that makes any sense at all. And I like so much I think this will become a spin-off quilt of plaid bunnies...using plaid backgrounds as well. Of course, I don't really have many plaids (unlike some of you, yes you, Alycia) that I may have to point my fabric hoarding in that direction. And of course, this is the month for
chocolate at the Rainbow Scrappy challenge, so after taking a bite of the chocolate bunny,
hop on over to see more adventures in brown.
And if you would like to make a standing bunny for yourself,
you will find the tutorial here.
Meanwhile, I pulled out last year's rainbow kitten quilt to layer and quilt it, but found I had put it away without resolving the border. So I have been making kitten ears for the border. With the kitten heads next to each other, it looks more like a scalloped edge but the blending is nice. I am going to also see how I like it with a space between the kitten heads, but I fear I will lose the blend. Hmm...blended kitten...where's Roy?

Love the plaid bunny! I hope you do make an entire plaid bunny quilt!
Yes! He does look like a "real" stuffed bunny. So cute. Looking forward to the completed kitten top.
What a manly brown bunny! There's something so country and manly about plaid.
Bunnies and kitties? Next up, BROWN Bears!! OK, so maybe not... LOL
Love the chocolate bunny!! And your kitties are very cute too.
An inspired border idea!
When I first saw the bunny, I thought it was a monkey. (Picture the ears as arms up over its head. Ook ook.) But then again, I have monkeys on the brain...
Where IS Roy?
how homey that checkerboard bunny! How's the kitten? LEeAnna
The bunny in plaid is very cuddly looking, too cute to eat. Keep up the good work!
Why are borders on rainbow quilts always so hard? I keep trying to make rainbow stripes work, but it is never quite right. I've just ordered some grey to try out for this years sampler, but it is always difficult to find something to go with all of the colors of the rainbow.
Love your plaid bunny.
Plaid Bunny - so fun! I love him.
Kitten Ears - love them too, no space I think..............It is a great border idea!
Oh my. I love your brown plaid bunny. He is soooo cute!
Ooops... wrong link to my bunnies!
