This week the bunnies were absolutely doing my head in! I had to step away from them for a day and feel that little buzz you get when something you've never tried before works out well. So I grabbed some bits out of my vintage sheet stash, cut some 4inch squares, put them together in a little quilt sandwich and had a little play with some free motion quilting. Why hadn't I tried this before! So quick, so easy (once you get the rhythm) Then I turned the whole thing into a cushion. I can see a couple more of these cushions in the future, then on to a whole quilt I think. Free motion quilting, great for curing the bunny fuzzies.
More creative peeps, over here.

Well I'm glad you had that break because those cushions look fabulous! Love the pompoms around the edge. Those fabrics look so lovely together and the quilting was a nice touch. Great job.
That is so beautiful, and just perfect fro spring. Perhaps you should whip up a few for Handmade Heaven for after your quit sale????

I love those squares of fabric altogether, and I'm very impressed with your freemotion quilting, it looks so good. I haven't had great success with it in my (one) practise as yet. Tips most welcome!
