I could hardly sit still last night because the rabbits were screaming at me to add more blocks. They liked the carrots but the quilt needed more......something. I'm a big fan of the "Log Cabin" block and have experimented with various designs. One of the rabbits whispered that I should incorporate the cabin blocks into the quilt. Good idea, I thought.
I elongated the center red fabric and was very happy with the way the cabin turned out.....BUT....after several rounds I discovered that the block wasn't going to fit....#$%^~+&^%!.......After moments of frustration, another rabbit whispered that I should add something to the bottom of each cabin. Good idea, I thought.....what to do, maybe strips of fabric......"Not good," said another rabbit...."How about checkerboards," said the last rabbit......"Great!"
In this picture, I have stitched around the rabbits and carrots blocks and placed it on the design board. I think I like it. What about you? Of course, I'll need to add borders, probably a tiny solid followed by some print. Don't say it......I'm not listening....No, I'm not going to do more checkerboards around the outside! LOL

Now all you have to do is a saw-tooth border with green fabric and white fabric to emulate grass. Ahhh, you don't need our help. What ever you do to it, it just keeps getting better and better. He is going to love it.
