    A little back to school quilt

    Sep 23, 2013



    (it looks like the quilt is wearing shoes doesn’t it?  hehe)
    I made this little stack of fabrics in primary colors…just perfect for a back to school-ish quilt.
    The pattern is from my book Growing Up Modern…it’s one of my favorites and is fast to sew with little cuts of fabric or scrap strips.  It measures about 41" x 47"
    I think I’ll quilt it with a crosshatch pattern…after I get through my to-be-quilted stack!


    Baby bunny update:
    They all have a nice coat of fur now…1 black, 3 light gray, and 2 white-ish.  Their eyes will open later this week and they’re getting very active.  These are Holland Lops for those of you that asked.  They make wonderful pets if you get one that has been held a lot and given lots of attention.
    I loooooooooooooooove them.  :)

      Love that navy dot fabric... do you know the line name? Thanks for sharing all the wonderfulness! I don't know how you get so much done! Baby 4 just arrived at our house and I'm hoarding fabric for when regular naps begin...

      Oh the bunny is so cute and fluffy and wonderful! The quilt is gorgeous too, especially the letters fabric - definitely a back to school vibe about it!

      I'm thinking a back-to-school quilt and class pet bunny would go very well together for just the right teacher/ kinder classroom!

      Love the quilt, so fresh. The bunny? OMG! It's a good thing you're up north and I'm down south or we'd have to get a bunny.

      Very nice quilt! And the bunny is darn cute. Keep us posted on their growth. I have 2 lops and their ears are so cute when they're half up and half down.

      Cute quilt and even cuter bunny. Now on to my question. It bothers the @#$% out of me when a fabric cuts off print like happened with your alphabet print. I can never decide if it is okay to cut with the print straight even if it is off grain a little. What are your thoughts? Thanks Perhaps others have wondered, too. N

      Oh that drives me crazy too! I try not to let it but me anymore because no matter how hard I try I can't ever get the print to line up with the grain perfectly!! Super annoying...and nothing we can do about it! ;) -Al

      I love bunnies, but unfortunately so does my Jack Russell, she loves them a little too hard.
      That quilt is so cute! I really like the colors you used.

      No more bunny pictures---Seriously. My Yorkie would kill me if I brought another animal into this house---she is 12 1/2, and she's been an only for WAY too long. Is your momma rabbit litter trained? I have heard of people doing that, but when I had a rabbit, we just kept her outside.

      Your quilt is wonderful. I love baby bunnies. Yours are so cute. I grew up on a farm and we were always having baby bunnies. LOL they just wanted to keep having them. LOL We loved taking care of them and finding them good homes. And yes the more they are held and loved and paid attention to they become the best little pets.

      Lovely. The alphabet print is very appropriate for a school theme! (What is the name of that alphabet print? I've been looking for something similar.)

      If any of those bunnies are still available...I live in Los Angeles, but my boyfriend's father lives in Washougal -- I could probably convince him to add a bunny to his farm or even bring it down to me from Washougal as he flies to LA every two weeks...just saying!
