I will have pictures to show for it tomorrow, but in the meantime, it is MARCH! Which means a new block of the month for Bee Blessed.
Yes, Pippi Longstocking is making a return visit. I designed this block 2 years ago and Bee Blessed members and contributors did a sterling job making Pippi and Wonky House blocks. This quilt was gifted to a teenage girl struggling with M.E.
Sarah had the genius idea of alternating February's heart blocks with Pippi blocks, which I think will make one beautiful and special quilt.
I know some of you are a bit nervous about this block and having a go at improv piecing! But all I would say is, have a go anyway and see what happens! Nothing ventured, nothing gained! Grasp the Nettle! Carpe Diem! etc. etc. !
You can find Sarah's instructions here and the link to the tutorial is here. Thank you for getting your big girl pants on and having a go at Pippi!

I will put Pippi on my to do list, I had fun making her last time.
ReplyDeleteGive poor Pippi some eyes! Please. So lovely to see you. Glad you had such a quick trip home.
ReplyDeleteBwahaha, I can see Hadley twitching from here ;o)
ReplyDeletetoday I aim to have a go but whether |I will achieve is another matter!
ReplyDeleteGreat block - loved her last time around! Glad it went to a girl with ME as we have a bit of something like that in this corner and it really sucks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute block and it will be perfect with hearts :)
ReplyDeleteI think Pippi was my first or second block for Bee Blessed. Shall I have another go?!
ReplyDeleteHello, Pippi! *waves*
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to this one. Didn't know about Bee Blessed first time round.
ReplyDeleteAw, Pippi gets an encore, a testament to her greatness!
