Ok, here's the flopsy bunnies. They're not quite finished yet - I'm still working on the backstitch for them. This is the biggest panel though, so very pleased to have got this one almost done. Back to carrots for the next one before Mrs Rabbit comes up.

I was gutted to see you bought this as a kit! I have the material for an afghan and want to do BP designs on it. I have traced one book of patterns just need to buy it!

Your doing wonderfully well on this your friend will be so pleased to receive this!

[Lessa54]

Nettie, I wanted to do as you're doing and select BP designs to fit on an afghan. I did find lots of books of designs out there - there are even charts for the entirety of some of her books. However the problem was that the charted designs were often bigger than the squares of the afghan fabrics. In the end, it was easier and also worked out cheaper (a distinct factor since this will eventually be posted abroad) just to get the kit.

But half the fun is getting there.
