Jenniky, i think its hard to cut into favorite fabric when the outcome is unkown. I'd save the favorites for a non-mystery project.
Some people companion plant things like onions and garlic in a border around their garden to discouraged the rabbits from get into the yummy crops on the inside. You could plant something for them on the outside and then thick rows of plants to discourage them. But, if you want them to move on, don't feed them. The only sure fire way to keep them out of the garden is to build a fence and bury wire mesh a ways below the soil line all the way around.
