I finished my project!!! I was this week's Project Quilt Sew-lebrity! I can't wait to see your finished projects, too! This week's prompt was "Craving Chocolate", read about it here. It's like Trish KNEW I loathe brown, so I struggled a bit to figure out what I wanted to make! I had seriously considered making a poop emoji, but thought I should make something MUCH cuter!
I used the Lindt Bunny as my inspiration! Delicious chocolate and super cute, perfect for my quilting project! I picked a cream for white chocolate, a medium brown for milk chocolate, a dark brown for dark chocolate, and a yellow for my background! Elizabeth Hartman's Delightful Desert pattern includes my favorite bunny block!
I decided to modify the body of the bunny to include the red ribbon. The idea is to use the red ribbon for the bow portion and give the ribbon a 3D look.
I used a walking foot to quilt vertical lines on the quilt and bound the quilt with red to match the ribbon!
Here's what the quilt looks like without the bow, a little plain if you ask me.
I ended up hot gluing the bows to the quilt rather than sewing through the thick ribbon. I love how this quilt turned out and it's ready in time for Easter! It's just as sweet as chocolate with fewer calories!
