Welcome friends, old and new, to my part in Whims and Fancie’s Spring Fling Blog Hop! Be sure to scroll through to the end to see how to win my giveaway!
When I first learned of this fun event from Soma over at Whims and Fancies, the very first thing to pop in my head was bunnies. But not just any bunnies… PEEPS!
My original intention was to make just one 10″ Peep. If one Peep was cute, then wouldn’t three be cuter? Three quickly turned to eight and I realized my Peeps had multiplied like bunnies!
>>> Peeps! <<<
a 10″ pattern to paper piece.
Instructions included for 5″ block.
Peeps! Designed in EQ7.
My Peeps got me thinking…what else has been crafted using these crunchy marshmallow treats as inspiration? Here are some of the Peep-tastic things I came across!

And of course, my all-time favorite band, Peep Floyd, by Kim’s World of Art!

So cute! Thank you for the great pattern!
I like hard candy so I can savor it a long time. Grands will love bunnies. Thanks
Love the paper-pieced Peeps! My all-time favorite candy are the Sweet Tart Jelly Beans. Thank God they are only sold around Easter, as I cannot be trusted with them.
I’m making a holiday quilt or my granddaughter & needed more easter blocks. I actually dreamed about peeps for a block & here they are! Odd that I open my email & discover the block in my dream! Thanks!
I love the peeps! My favorite candies are Mary Janes. I have been eating them for as long as I can remember. When Easter rolls around though, they take backseat to Peeps. And I have to have all the different colors I can find!
My favorite candy is chocolate-covered almonds!
Peeps are my all time favorite. When I was a nursery school teacher, my co-teacher would buy a few packs at Easter and save them to give to me when they got stale. I love then stale, but can never keep them in my house long enough to get that way.
When I can’t get my beloved Peeps (the gingerbread looking peeps at Christmas are not acceptable), I enjoy semi-sweet or dark chocolate.
Jelly beans, but only Brachts. Or Jelly Belly. And only the original, not any of the newer ones.
Many thanks for the Peeps pattern ~ I love them ~ not to eat but to look at!
My favorite sweet? Blue Moon chocolates. They’re made right here in Portland, Oregon and are yummy!

Such a cute pattern and no calories–WOW! Thank you!
Your pattern is SO CUTE! I have to admit, around holiday times I try to find Peeps in all shapes, colors, etc. But my year round favorite is Dove Dark Chocolate.

Your Peeps are soooo adorable!! Thank you for sharing the pattern. I don’t eat a lot of candy but when I do it is usually covered in dark chocolate. I really like Dark Chocolate Kit Kat bars but they are hard to find (that’s a good thing).
your peeps are adorable. thanks for the pattern.
i really love resses peanut butter cups, original
thanks for a chance to win such wonderful scraps.
Love it!!! Thank you for the pattern.
I love this pattern! so cute! I can picture a great Easter table runner made from these guys! I have quite a sweet tooth when it comes to candy, but my favorite is grape licorice. Hard to find, but sooo good! Thanks for the chance to win!
Thanks Jennifer for the Peeps pattern. Love it. I can see it with the letters “Somebunny Loves U” on it.
Hugs
Not marshmellow; I like chocolate and nuts together. They have chocolate covered almonds Supreme which I get occasionally. My daughter loves Peeps especially after they’ve been allowed to dry out considerably! Yikes! This pattern is, “Oh, so cute.”
chickastic’s..
Mini Cadbury Eggs are my favorite, favorite, favorite. Thankfully they are not available all year!
My kids are peep-freaks,but I would have to go for the Cadbury eggs for Easter and twix for the rest of the year. Great pattern!
love the peeps. they’ll make a great bunny rug! My favourite used to be the polywaffle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polly_Waffle) but they stopper production in 2009 😦 Now i like anything by DD confectionery and the marshmallow bunnies/santas that they only bring out at Christmas and Easter 🙂
I love anything chocolate, but Reese Peanut Butter cups the best!
I don’t eat sugar any longer, but my favorite candy used to be chocolate covered peanuts!
Love the pattern and thanks for the chance to win your scraps. I love chocolate covered cherries with the creme filling.
I just love this one!!! Thank you so much for sharing the pattern with us! I agree, 8 is better than 1!
My favorite candy is Candy Corn! YUMMY
Cute bunny peeps – thanks. My favorite candy is turtles – those chocolate covered caramel gooey & nut sensations! Love scraps – thanks for the chance.
I don’t have just one favorite candy. A lot depends on what mood I am in and sometimes what I have eaten prior to the candy. In general my favorite would be Lindt’s chocolate truffles.
Oh my gosh, I love peeps! Not to eat though….. My favorites are most candies with chocolate, snickers, crunch bars, kisses…… and on and on…..
Love your pattern. My favorite is payday candy bar and dark chocolate.
I love the pattern and the giveaway! My favorite peeps are the traditional colors; yellow and pink. I love to “warm” a peep up in the microwave…watch it GROW ! ! !

I used to eat all things peanut butter but now I am happy with a simple Hershey bar or a hand full of Hershey kisses.
Peeps are my favorite, but I like them best when they sit around for a while and get a little hard. In fact I just ate my peeps from last Easter and have my peeps ready for next Easter.
Thank you for such a cute pattern. I love to eat Peeps! but somehow missed them this past Easter. Now I can have them smile at me all the time in my sewing room. Thanks for sharing your talent.
My uncle loves peeps I think I will make this for him.
Nothing beats Butterfinger bars for me! However, I never reject any other kind of chocolate.
I am still chuckling at the Peeps Floyd. Thanks for sharing all that and the giveaway of course!

I adore Cadbury eggs. I always buy a huge stash, eat them before Easter, and can never find them on the after Easter discount shelves:(
I love Heath bars. Thank you for another awesome pattern and chance at a giveaway.
My favorite candy is M and M’s. Love that they have seasonal colors too. Thanks for the peeps pattern. I love to paper piece and had never seen any peeps made that way before.
See’s makes the most wonderful chocolate covered marshmallow eggs! Of course, they’re only here for Easter or I’d be in trouble! I made four of your peeps to do a mug rug for the April Showers Hop (it still needs quilting) but I also made one with your heart mug pattern. I’m busy trying to upload them to flickr as I type, thank you! pbstrand@msn.com
I like gummy bears. I tried my first peeps this year. It was super hard but very tasty!

I love gummies…any gummies really, but peach rings are my absolute favorite. Ok, now I’m hungry, lol.
These peeps are adorable. Way to cute.. Belgium chocolates for moi 🙂
My favorite candy is anything chocolate. Thanks for the chance to win.
Your peeps are adorable. I think I will have to try that, just for fun. i discovered, this Easter that they have combined 2 of my favourite candies. They now make CHOCOLATE-COVERED PEEPS!!!!
Hi Kate! You are my Spring Fling Blog Hop prize winner! If you’ll send your mailing address to sewhooked@gmail.com, I’ll get your prize in the mail to you!
Thanks for playing!
Are there written instructions for the Peeps block. I’m new to paper piecing and not sure how to begin. I would like to make a block but I am unsure of the measurements to cut the fabrics. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Karen,
The real beauty of paper piecing is that you don’t generally pre-measure or pre-cut and once you learn the technique, you can tackle any block. I have a number of resources here that I think will help get you going:
Happy stitching!
Jennifer
Thank you so much Jennifer. The video explained a lot. I ready to tackle the peeps.
The video was excellent and answered a lot of my questions. Wish me luck…
Karen
I love peeps. Stale one’s of course though. A close second would be white chocolate in any form. lol
