Hop to it! Spring is here and we are bursting to whip up some fun sewing projects to celebrate. This bunny quilt pattern is top of our list – it’s a super cute baby or child’s quilt project and you can make it in a weekend. While most of this quilt pattern is made using traditional patchwork piecing methods, it’s also a lovely skills-builder to try out new techniques too, as you’ll get to play around with Foundation paper piecing and even appliqué alongside sewing half square triangles and quilt-block-building.
We’ve had our eye on this colourful quilt tutorial ever since we first spied it in Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine. It’s designed by Kate Webber – Kate is a colourful quilter with an eye for fussy cutting and a passion for prints, especially when it comes to English Paper Piecing! See more of her work at katewebberdesigns.uk or follow her on instagram @katewebberdesigns.
