I had such fun ( more than " a barrel full of bunnies!" ) making a spring pillow.... using a paper pieced pattern design by Janeen at Quilt Art Designs, and a background fabric by Moda's Bonnie and Camille fabrics!
Pattern: Rabbit by Janeen from Quilt Art Designs "Paper Piecing 1/4 " " digital magazine, issue 9 April-June 2016 {available Here }. This issue 9 features lots of adorable pets!!!
Block size: 14 " x 14 " finished
Fabric: - background for pillow front- Hello Darling by Bonnie and Camille for Moda Fabrics
bunny - various taupes and creams from my stash
back- red and white picnic gingham from my stash
Zipper and 14" pillow form
I looked up some cute little pet bunnies online, to give me some inspiration on what fabrics to use for making my own little bunny.
I love the taupe and white bunnies.... and before I knew it, my own little paper pieced rabbit, shown below, in the center, was sewn up!

| Strawberry, the sweet little pet rabbit pillow |
I love, love, love using the Bonnie and Camille "Hello Darling " strawberry fabric as my background fabric for the pattern!!! I smile whenever I see it !
And when I found the red gingham fabric in my stash, I knew that would make the perfect backing for the pillow ! And I couldn't resist making a covered zipper with some of the strawberry fabric scraps!!
Strawberry loves posing for photo shoots! ( Don't tell her about Instagram!)
The eyes on Janeen's patterns are so life-like, aren't they?
Want to see other cute little pets?? Be sure to look at the rest of the pet patterns that Janeen has designed in this issue 9 , of "Paper Piecing 1/4 " " digital magazine ! A pillow or a mini wallhanging would make a beautiful Mother's Day or birthday gift!
