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!

There’s even a flickr group just for PEEPS!

In true Peeps fashion, I’m giving away over half a pound of yellow and pink scraps perfect for paper piecing! The lucky winner can start his or her own bunny farm!
