I've made a lot of these. Mostly, I have made the rabbits, view B. They make GREAT shower gifts. I like being able to personalize these.
I made this one for my (20-year-old) daughter who likes Clemson. I used Rosebud swirl minky for the body.
I then use coordinating college colors for the ear lining and for the paws. I make my own blanket binding if I need a color that is not available, such as the purple for this one. I cut strips straight across the width 6" wide, then press in half. Then I press in 1" on either side to create the binding. Next rabbit I make, I will edit this with photos to help clarify this step.
I have developed a technique for nicely mitered corners
I make extra "dimples" on the paws. The dimples take a while to do (a doll-making needle works best), but the end result is worth the effort. Don't omit this step which really adds character to the rabbits face.
One can coordinate these to a nursery's color scheme or any other personalizing colors.
