Just go to Quilt University.com. They offer many courses about putting your *dream quilt on paper*. The teachers are more than helpful and it is not expensive.

look under cute coloring pages, coloring page cartoon cartoons, that's what i did for my funky chicken and funky cat. i made different sizes, then just added borders to make into a block (think log cabin) and put tog.

I know you can take a basic outline picture like a coloring book and draw a grid over it. Then with a marker, make the lines within each grid square straight instead of curved. Then when you take each square and enlarge it into your quilt square size to piece, you will have the pattern there to show you what you need to cut.

Thanks everyone - yesterdaty on my treck to JoAnn's I found these foam shaped bunnies - so its the pattern bu just the outline/shadow. I was thinking of doing just what Wildyard wrote tracing on graph paper and seeing if I can "square" it out!

You really don't have to even find an old coloring book, just look up Free coloring pages on the internet & see if any will translate to what you want, try using graph paper to see if it will work , then blow it up.

Pam, here's a cute and easy bunny pattern.

I think this one is really cute and would go together very quickly! You could make the blocks any size and use pastels or brights. Click on blocks at left and look for Peek-A-Boo-Bunny.

I say go to the library childrens section when you find the right pic get a couple copies -our library can make blow-ups or do you have some one who has kids/GKs
