Remember This?


Well, it's going to need a good name soon, because this is what I spent the evening doing--


I'm a little less than halfway done quilting the background "texture." After that, it's just quilting the detail on the applique and then the borders--and I'd guess that the quilt might be ready for binding by the end of the week or thereabouts.

If you're a new reader or missed a few posts, then you probably don't know, but this quilt started out as the Rabbits Prefer Chocolate block of the month by Bunny Hill, until I got a little sidetracked and distracted. Or maybe someone slipped me a hallucinogenic drug. Or a flashback to the 60s? In any event, the rabbits got carried away and turned into something a little different from what they started out as.

Now, of course, the original quilt name, Rabbits Prefer Chocolate, no longer fits the quilt, so it needs a new name. Can you think of one? Suggestions will be accepted through Thursday evening (March 1st). I'll either pick a winner then or, if I can't decide on my own, I'll post a poll with a few of my favorites so everyone can help pick a winning name.

Of course, there's always a prize for winning, and this is no exception. The winner will receive two Redwork Renaissance charm packs. Everyone's gotta love red and white, right? Just like everyone's gotta love rabbits! Good luck and thanks for helping me out!

  1. The rabbits seem to reside in a high end neighborhood and play with all the latest "toys." How about - 90210 Cottontail Lane. The quilt is adorable.

  9. These rabbits make me think of the Easter Bunny's kids going wild on Easter night while he's out delivering candy and hiding eggs. How about "No Adult Supervision" or "Wascally Wabbits"?

  47. Love the hippie bus, brings back old memories. How about "Hippie Hares on the Move" or "Hares to the free and wild" or "Traveling Hippie Hares" Wait, Wait I thought of another..Hares to the 60's. This is too much fun or maybe I've just been up too long. Thanks for the fun.
