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!
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.
ReplyDelete"Busy Bunnies" came to mind...cute quilt...congratulations. Thanks for the great give-a-way.
ReplyDeleteHarry days.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance Kim
Just love this quilt.Also your writings..!
ReplyDelete"And away we go" would be my idea. They are busy going somewhere..!
I meant to write Harey days not harry
ReplyDeleteHow about "Rabbits on Chocolate"?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking, "Easter Parade," "Extreme Chocolate," or "Cavalcade of Rabbits." Whatever the name, it's an amazing quilt.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! "Bunnies Gone Wild" comes to my mind! :)
ReplyDeleteThese 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"?

Rabbits On The Move!

I'm thinking. Chocolate Rabbit Pandemonium is my suggestion. :)
ReplyDeleteRuns like a Rabbit was my first thought, and this quilt definately redefines that.
ReplyDeleteRabbits on the Run OR Hopping Into Spring. It's really cute!
ReplyDeleteRabbits Prefer Mayhem or Hares Just Wanna Have Fun would be my suggestions but maybe you should go with your own words...Eat More Eggs?
ReplyDeleteBunnies on the Loose....the quilt is adorable.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is stunning and so much work, whatever you decide to call it, I'm sure the name will be fitting.
ReplyDeleteTo me, it looks like a Hare Parade!
Marie in B.C.
trains, planes, and bunnymobiles ... or lapins sur la fissure ... or sungura kwenye ufa (swahili) ... or lapen sou krak (french creole - now THEY know how to cook a prairie chicken) ... or hopped up ... or hare-y chicks ... or quick like a bunny
ReplyDeletep.s. - a wise man once told me to never date a man whose friends call him "Rabbit"
That quilt is fantastic! Stunning!!

ReplyDeletesomehow tie in to the modes of transportation - Bunnies on vacation, Bunnies on the Move, Bunnies just want to have fun..... Mr Bunny's Travels is what I would pick.
ReplyDelete"Hare today...gone tomorrow!!" "All in a Day at the Chocolate Factory", "Hare You Come", "Bunnies Gone Funnies" "On A Chocolate High" "Hares for the Holidays" and my favourite "A Bad Hare Day"
ReplyDeleteTake care!

I had a hard time leaving a comment because of the double verification thing!! I'm not sure if it went through properly!
ReplyDeleteP
Wow, you're getting some great name ideas!
ReplyDeleteAll I can think of is from Alice in Wonderland .... (No time to say hello, goodbye) "I'm late I'm late I'm late"
How about Rabbits Take a Trip? They're all speeding off somewhere, and this title gives just a suggestion of other substances helping them on their way!
ReplyDeleteMiss Jean's "Rabbit Transit" is very, very good!
ReplyDeleteThe Bunny Brigade
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt, such a fun pattern, especially with your adjustments.
They look like they are having so much fun, so I would maybe go with "Bunny Fun". I had a rabbit named Phoebe for over ten years. She had a nice, long life for a bunny.
ReplyDeleteKim, How about Rapid Rabbit Revue.Looks like a great quilt. MaryJane
ReplyDeleteHow many blocks? I forget twelve? Well I say "Twelve reasons NOT to feed a Rabbit Chocolate"
ReplyDelete(or ten I forget but you get the jist!) You have some very clever readers! I do like several of the suggestions!
Rabbit Adventures.
ReplyDelete"Bunnies À la carte" I thought this name helped tie in the fact that you changed each block to suit your taste :)
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt~~~~ You are getting some really cool names!!! "Bunny's Rush Hour" is what came to my mind... Can't wait to see what you've decide!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow about "Late for the Easter Parade"? They just look like they are in a hurry to get somewhere! This quilt just makes me smile. Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking of, "Bunnies Gone Wild". Regardless of the name, I love this quilt. There is so much personality.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this quilt! Everything about it is amazing! I would love to know how you did a scallop border and then the square border - love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking "rabbits just wanna' have fun"
This is such an amazing and creative quilt!! How about "Crazy Hare Days"?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking "Hare Raising Fun!" ...looks like they are having a blast to me!
ReplyDeleteHow about "Those wild, wacky wabbits"?
ReplyDeleteLove redwork renaissance-would love to win the charm pack.
BTW-your quilt is beautiful! So great you put your own spin on it!
Love your take on this quilt. How about "wild hare daze". Your applique inspires me to try it. Thanks for a chance to win. Darling quilt.
ReplyDelete"Chocolate Bunnies Will Travel" is my suggestion. Looks like you'll have this done for Easter- wonderful!

ReplyDeleteRushin' Rabbits!

ReplyDeleteLove your additions/changes/updates! :)

Love this quilt-- it's super cute!! Every name I kept thinking of was already entered... so I guess I'll go with "Hippity- Hoppity Friends". :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. My suggestion for a name:
hares gone haywire
Terry
I beginning to think a robot might be smarter than me deciphering the double words now in trying to post comment & wonder if others have such difficulties? Any way I think this is such a wonderful & fun quilt! I think you might name it, Rockin Rabbits!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, Rabbits Rock ON!!
ReplyDeleteLove 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.
ReplyDelete"Hare We Go"! or "Hare Salon"
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Kim! It's beautiful.
The Touring Bunnies or Hares on Tour...
