Bunny Hill Designs Newest Block of the Month
“I pick a theme I’m inspired by and that often includes animals,” says Anne. “I just love little yellow chicks. If they stayed that size, I’d have one for a pet.”
Some of the blocks in this quilt, including the chick trying on a bonnet, were inspired by vintage postcards. Others come from favorite imagery. “I love topiaries and put them in a lot of my quilts.” In this one, a sprightly chick is perched atop an egg-filled shrub. “I started with the eggs in the center, but had to re-do that block twice because the leaves were too small. Each block has to stand on its own, like little individual quilts.”
While Anne enjoys the challenge of creating Block of the Month quilts, she also knows that customers appreciate those "individual quilts," because stitching one block at a time makes finishing an entire quilt less daunting. “They give people the chance to complete a project they might not undertake if they bought the pattern,” she says. “If you keep up each month, Block of the Month quilts provide you with a little guidance and built-in discipline.”
