Bunny in the Garden

 is my 2025 Stay at Home Round Robin finish!   Starting from this sweet Kathy Schmitz embroidery design, the floral inspiration print, and some bits and pieces in blues, greens, and pinks for the borders - 


Continuing on with all the border prompts - including sliced squares, kites, Dresden Plates (for a block starting with my first initial - D), and quarter log cabins, to name a few.


I ended up with this little finish, measuring about 26 x 27.  Perfect to hang up for Spring!


I couldn't get any real bunnies to pose with my quilt, so we took it to the nearby Sculpture Garden for some bunny photos, and had a good time finding them all!




And then, not a bunny, but this one just made us laugh!  My favorite sculpture in the park just had to get its photo with the quilt, too.


And finally, a maker photo, which I don't do too often, but this was a good spot for it.


Thank you Gail, Kathleen, Anja, Wendy, Brenda, and Emily, for hosting this fun QAL again this year!  I always enjoy it!

Your bunny quilt turned out so pretty Diann! Love seeing a photo of you with it. I like it with that pretty pillow too. The banana sculpture is hilarious!

What a nice photo filled post about your SAHRR. Sculpture Gardens make a great backdrop. I’ve done a few, but our city’s art collection is spread out. I don’t think we have any rabbits! Love the Maker Photo! 🙂

Perfect timing to get it done to showcase in your home Diann!

love the easter bunny quilt in the Sculpture Garden and that tall sculpture of the bunny is so neat and the others too. We have come across a couple small towns here and there on our travels that will have sculptures all over the downtown area and it always looks so neat.

What a wonderful sculpture garden your town has! And I've never seen a scating banana before, what fun.
