Bunnies everywhere

I saw a pattern for a super cute bunny quilt.  It was applique and I've never done applique, so I decided to try it out since they were all relatively big pieces.  Now, I'm not one for a lot of hand-sewing.  I don't even hand-sew my bindings.  So I machine-stitched around the appliqued pieces.  I think they turned out so cute.  The same friend who bought a St. Patty's Day table runner asked me to do an Easter one for her as well, so I did bunnies and Easter eggs on it.  I made two bunny quilts, one for me and one for my Mom.  On mine and the table runner, the quilting pattern was meandering with some bunnies thrown in randomly.  My mom's is swirls with bunnies thrown in.  I'm not quite done with hers yet, but should be sometime tomorrow.

Margie's quilt

For Margie, another purple quilt.  (Obviously, purple is a favorite color amongst this family.)  This quilt has 9 Courthouse Steps blocks.  It was then free-motion quilted with a meandering star pattern.



Teresa's quilt

Teresa told me her favorite color was teal/aqua, so I found these great coordinating fabrics for her quilt.  The pattern is called Tortilla Flats, which is a variation of a 9-patch.  The quilting on this one took me the longest, partly because I was getting used to the new sewing machine.  I free-motion quilted in flowers and leaves.  Each block had a free-hand flower and in between each block was a stem with leaves on it.
