The Bunny Block

I decided to sew the bunny block today. I had gotten an email, linking to a video for this   The video I saw had good instructions and the pattern & directions I downloaded were easy to follow.

The hardest part was doing the little snowball corners around the bunny’s ears.  But the video gave a good tip for working with such small pieces (just 1” x 1”). They suggested using a dab of glue in the outer corner of each square before you sew it on.  I used a bit of household glue stick. It doesn’t matter much what you use, since that corner gets cut off anyway.

Though the block has a lot of pieces, its overall size is large (about 16” x 10”) so you wouldn’t need that many for a quilt.

Thanks. Since it came out good, it will become part of a wall hanging for DH’s aunt.  She loves my sewing.

Thanks @Cazlyn   I have embroidered “Happy Easter”. On the bottom & made a backing from the same blue fabric.  I will do the edge binding tomorrow when I get the bias tape I need for it. (All that I have in the house is too wide.). Pics when it’s done.

It’s done!  The binding was challenging as I don’t normally use bias tape this narrow. Of course, I see every mistake (don’t we all?) but I am pleased with it, overall.

I know it’s been a while, but here is a little follow-up. We eventually got around to mailing it. Aunt Marion loved it!
