And now for something completely different...

I really shouldn't be starting anything new right now - but I have an excuse ;o) One of my sister's best friends is a couple of weeks away from  having her first baby and she's asked me to make a quilt (okay in all honesty she did ask me about six months ago but I kept putting it off... oops.)

It needs to be a girly quilt, and something quite sophisticated. And the mum-to-be loves rabbits. As a happy coincidence, I was lucky enough to win a fabulously generous giveaway from The Fat Quarter Shop during Spring Quilt Market - a fat quarter bundle of the complete line of Windsor Lane by Bunny Hill Designs for Moda (as well the alphabet panel in all four colours, and seven Jaybirds Quilts patterns.) I'll be honest - they are nowhere near my normal cup of tea, but they are absolutely gorgeous. And they fit the bill perfectly - they are quite sophisticated and feature the cutest little rabbits :o)

These are the pinks and taupes - the text print is from another Bunny Hill line, but coordinates really well. 

I've made a start - I've been given free reign on the design, so I'm making a giant Dutch Rose (about 40" square) and I'll put a border around it.

So another thing to add to my fairly massive to-do-right-now list - a busy few weeks ahead! Hope everyone had a great weekend.
