Cocorico February ~ Pippi

It is Muriel's month in Cocorico and she chose Pippi as her theme. I got all excited about this because I adore Pippi! If you have not read the books or watched the films I can highly recommend them.
I had plenty of ideas for blocks but had to drop one after the other as they were all way over my head! I finally settled on a block that does not feature Pippi herself but one of her favourite foods....cake, preferably eaten for breakfast ;)
Pippi takes all her friends to the candy shop where they buy up a ton of sweets and goodies and have a very good time together. So that was my inspiration.

I drew up a rough sketch of where I wanted what to be, and then made paper piecing patterns for each individual section.  I am particularly pleased with how the bow on the chocolate box came out, I was not sure if I would be able to pull it off!
Do have a look at the flickr group Amy and Kerry both made amazing Pippi blocks this month!
