The binding was finished in the car on Saturday afternoon. Binding a small project is a good road trip project, as long as the road isn't too rough.
I kept the quilting simple. A paper template helped with those curves quilted into each bunny ear, and the rest of the quilting used the serpentine stitch along straight lines.
I had a specific size in mind, which is why the sides are wider than those bottom strips.
The bunny head is actually from the Fancy Forest pattern by Elizabeth Hartman. It has a variety of forest critters, and someday I might make more of them.
While I had binding on my mind, another small project got some binding sewn on as well. This will be a pillow cover, but I'll wait to share more once it's actually done. The hand stitching remains.
Three more kits are front and center. Like the Strippee quilts, I always have a stack of pillowcase kits lined up and ready to sew. The chili pepper kit was actually purchased on our trip this winter, but the other 2 were kitted up by me. Making these pillowcases in April is being added to my goals for the month. Do these count as a UFO or maybe just a WIP? I donate lots of pillowcases during the year, but also gift a lot of them.

The bunnies turned out just as sweet as I imagined they would;)
I used to take needle and thread with me in the car but then between my eyes and the road I wasn't able to do the work very well. I find it hard to focus right in the car with the needle.
Cute Bunnies! Hard to think Easter with so much snow:)
The bunnies are adorable and will look sweet on your table.
