OK, I know that a lot of other quilters will identify with this. After working last night and all morning on the "serious" quilt that I showed yesterday..........I totally fell off the wagon! One of those ideas in my head got more and more insistent until it just popped out!
I think you can see where this is going! I have been a fan of Tonya Ricucci since I found her mentioned on Bonnie Hunter's website. I love the wacky, crooked letters and have used them before, once in the shop banner that we take to quilt shows and use as a logo on the website.
Tonya's book
Word Play Quilts is new and I recommend it. What else is in store for the bunny quilt? I haven't done any reverse applique for a while. I'll do a crazy patch piece of bright, springy, pastel colors, then reverse applique the bunny outline, something that I learned from Jan Mullen's book
Reverse Applique With No Brakez.
Some of my quilting buddies were online today, talking about cleaning and sorting stashes, including pre-cutting pieces to be used at a later date. WHY? With my luck, I would
NEVER need the sizes I had cut! That would just take away from sewing time! I'd rather dig through the pile and pull out likely candidates like I did today. I don't mean that my stash is super messy. Fabrics are folded and stacked, mainly grouped by size. The only fabrics I have segregated are the 30's prints and batiks. Just my 2 cents.

You have made me laugh this afternoon! I don't get the cleaning, sorting and definitely not the pre-cutting. Whenever I do that I later change my mind! I need to come see you soon.
