I have almost all my Kaleidoscope / One Block Wonder half hexagons sewn together but with Easter coming up shortly I was seeing lots of Easter sewing in blog-land. So I took a little break to create a wall hanging with a chocolate bunny in the centre surrounded by colourful Easter eggs. I had actually cut out two mirror image chocolate bunnies, but by the time I made flippy corners on all my eggs, the piece of fabric I had left wasn't big enough for two bunnies. As it was, I had to piece together one of the corner squares. The eggs are made with a 2.5" x 3.5" rectangle with 1" flippy corners on the pointier end and 1.25" flippy corners on the rounder end of the egg. I found a printable image of the bunny on the Internet.
I still need to do an applique stitch all around the bunny and quilt the whole thing. I have a ribbon running underneath the bunny's neck which I will be able to tie in a nice bow once he's finished and I picked out a nice pink button for his eye. The wall hanging measures approximately 16" x 20". Now I have to figure out what to do with the other chocolate rabbit I cut out. I really think the brown fabric does a good job of looking like chocolate!
