A Cute Table Runner From Remnants
Made With Die Cuts

 |
| Sizzix Big Shot Pro, pads and bunny die |
I bought this Sizzix die cutter and bunny die at a quilt show and had an idea for Easter.
 |
| I made bunnies! |
Two fabrics, one for milk chocolate Easter bunnies and one for dark chocolate.
 |
| Tasty bites out of those bunnies |
|
|
I free form cut some bites out of the bunnies, because I just cannot resist a chocolate bunny.
 |
| Table runner strips sewn together |
|
|
|
|
|
I collected Easter fabric remnants for a few years and came up with this arrangement of strips. I arranged the strips so that you will get the same view from either end of the table.
 |
| Raw Edge Applique |
|
I used a heat bond fusible webbing to attach each of the bunnies and then a simple zigzag edge for raw edge applique.
 |
| Two table runners on the longarm |
I actually made two table runners. One to keep and one to gift. I put them on the longarm with one large backing and one large batting and then trimmed around them to separate them when I was done quilting. It worked great with them together instead of messing with a skinny piece on the longarm.

Quilted bunny tail
I decided to quilt a small swirl of a bunny tail on the bunnies.

 |
Something is really lacking here
At this point I am really not happy with the bunny tails. |

|
| Backing fabric |
You can use either side of the table runner with this cute egg backing.
 |
| Big fuzzy tail! |
|
|
This looks much better.
I shared my table runner with some people and several suggested a big fluffy fuzzy tail would look better than the quilted one. I am so glad I asked for opinions. Sometimes I just can't see what is needed. The quilted tail shows on the back of the fabric.
 |
| All done! |
I am so happy with how my table runner turned out. It really adds some color and the bites out of the bunnies were a real hit.
