I have done all of the above....started with A...started with K (my last name)....started with favorite shops....searched til I found the silly rabbit....given up and come back later. I have even written the shop and asked for a clue. I have not done a complete one lately. Not enough hours in the day.

I love the fabshophop. I usually search until I find all the patterns, then if I have time I try to fine as many bunnies as I can. I've made two of their quilts so far.

I found all the "hidden" blocks. Usually I don't mess with them but I really like this one! |
Well, I did some searching last night & found 4 bunnies but no quilt blocks & THAT is what I really want! I love that quilt design! I'm not too lucky a person so I never count on winning anything, but boy do I want those blocks!

i just start with clicking on the list on unfound bunnies and start at the top- sometimes i do the first one- then the last and bounce back and forth from top to bottom on the list- sometimes i go straight down the list- once in a great while i might just randomly click on shops for awhile---just to do something different

visit the "FABSHOPHOP" (lowercase)
sign up then you will find a list of over 150 shops around the country participating. you visit each shop and locate a bunnie- click on it- it takes you back to the shop hop page- you register your bunnie-then go find more...there are drawings, all kinds of prize packages and you have the resource of 150+ shops...some (most) of them offer monthly gift certificate drawings if you sign up to recieve their newsletter- they usually have special shop hop sales- the hop itself gives you free block patterns (sometimes) and plenty of drawings- you can find good sales- high prices- an amazing selection of fabrics, notions, patterns...its funny how out of 150+ shops---no two are anything alike...they all carry their own special selections...offer their own (take on the craft) the shop hop happens something like 10 times a year...but you have the whole month to find the bunnies and be qualified for all of the prize drawing. i've actually been doing the hop for 10 years now===and even though i've never been a really lucky one and received one of the big prizes i have won some great prizes! gift certificates, fabric collections- fq bundles- i usually check to see how many shops there are (it varies hop-to-hop) then i divide that number by the day's in the month so i know how many i need to find each day- sometimes i don't get to any---and i have to get a few extra next time...it all works out- there are people who first day sit down and don't get back up until they have found them all---that is cool in ways BUT you really limit your prize chances...they have daily drawings and double drawings on Saturdays- so as long as you find at least one bunny each day you are in that day's drawings...if you find them all day 1---you are not in 29-30 drawings...bumber...
