I have decided to call it 'Run, rabbit!' as the chasing rabbits make me think of the old 40s song,
'Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run.
Don't let the farmer catch you with his gun.
He'll get by without his rabbit pie,
So run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run!'
There are green rabbits running ound the centre, rabbits quilted in the large white spaces
and then rabbits quilted all round the borders. I cut several rabbit shapes out of freezer paper and ironed them lightly onto the borders. Then I machine quilted along the top edge of the rabbits in one continuous line, and then went back and did the underside. Then I was able to pull the freezer paper off, iron it onto another side of the border and so on.
I also put a reason for the rabbits to be running. It's not the farmer, but the fox!
