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.

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.
