For the past few months of Bee Blessed we've been choosing our own blocks and Judith (and friends) have been making sampler quilts of our contributions. Not this month! She's spicing it up with a little Pippi Longstocking block.
This was a great block for me as I am getting more and more interested in improvisational piecing.
I tried to make her look a bit like I would like to look. She has dark brown hair with whisps of "blonde" that are really grey. I would love, love, love to have a dress made from this gorgeous fabric and would absolutely adore tights of yellow polka dots. Now, would I ever dare to wear it all outside at once? Most likely no. But each piece would make me really happy on its own.
She used to have shoes :( They were lost in the squaring of the center block to 8 1/2 inches square. That's OK. I would rather be barefoot anyway!
Hope you like her Judith!

I like her! And for sure - yellow polka dot stockings would be so fun - maybe they even exist somewhere in real life?? Great block - she looks like she's dancing!
Was just about to say the same, she is moving! I pretty much lost the shoes on my Pippi block too, maybe she should have boots!
I'm going to call her Sandy Shaw! Love the whole block C, thanks so much! Jxo
I like her, esp the way her hair obviously is under control and would nEVER go in a direction other than she wants it too!! x
"She used to have shoes" - LOL! Love it!
She is absolutely gorgeous and I would love to see you in a blue dress with yellow dotty tights! I would make the dress so you don't have any excuses :D
Very sweet and it looks like she is dancing the day away!
Oooh I'd love to see you in yellow polka dot tights.... lol Great Block!

Love your barefoot Pippy! All the fabrics you chose are so pretty :)
I think she kicked off her shoes so she could dance better - maybe on the grass at a festival?!! Great block!

She looks like she's ready to dance-it must be the yellow stockings! Nice block.
