I had a piece of fabric that my Hubby wanted me to keep whole when I was making a quilt for my nephew...I think the bunnies would work well for this too! I basically made up the quilt on my own. I hope you don't mind me posting my picture on your thread, but I wanted to show you how well the quilt looked with the "whole cloth" center, as my Hubby calls it, in case it could be a consideration.

I think the Warm Wishes pattern would look great, but here is another idea.

This is a pattern off of the Moda Bake Shop blog that would keep your bunny fabric in one piece. You could just use this as an idea and go from there.

Myrna, I agree ... your fabric choices are excellent!

I love the figgy pudding quilt, both front and back. What a great way to use a nice piece of novelty fabric.

Rather Be Quiling...great quilt to keep the main fabric intact. Very nice!

For the bunny fabric, Warm Wishes was my first thought. But a snowball block of the bunnies, as suggested, alteranted with a Friendship Star or Ohio Star in the other fabrics, would work up great also!

I know I sound like a broken record.. but this would be good fabric to use in a Disappearing 9 Patch for the corners where it stays whole.

Your quilt is a FINE example of using panels and adding the challenge and interest of a block surround. That is soooo clever! <wave>

I think this pattern would showcase your bunnies perfectly. I have done the Warm Wishes and it does work well with focus fabrics. It would matter what sizes are the larger bunnies and would they be chopped up? Great fabrics and have fun, your friend will appreciate the effort. Where are the bunnies from? I had to go back and look at the fabrics again - is the tan fabric little bunny paw prints?

I have used the BQ quilt pattern when I had a great focus fabric I wanted to show off. There are several sizes and it is really easy sewing. Only problem is you really wouldnt use all the fabrics that you have pictured. It only uses 3, but take a look... here is a link to a front and back of the pattern

I would wing it to a degree....I would use the bunnies as the main boarder. I would look up on quilters cache the cabbage rose block and make my quilt look like a garden. You could maybe do some fusible web applique and make some bunches of carrots in the corners. You could find some brown textured fabric to use as soil around the cabbages....there are so many possibilities...I think I would have a lot of fun with this fabric...Enjoy!

I agree, don't cut up the bunnies to much.
