4 Comments Tea-lightful… In Progress
All the teacups are constructed. Pretty quick and easy. I have a little trouble with angle pieces when paper piecing but if I take my time I usually get it right. The teacups look so pretty and delicate, don’t they?
An extra little bit of fabric on each side of the bottom of the cups makes them look a bit rounded which I think makes the difference between a boxy looking cup and a delicate one.
The center block is finished too. It’s a large piece of white fabric surrounded by a narrow strip of soft pink, then another strip of white. It’s perfect to show off some quilting - I need to choose just the right quilting motif. Any suggestions?
Next I get to play with the teacups, placing them around the center square until the most pleasing layout appears. A little more sewing and I should be sandwiching and quilting later this weekend.
UPDATE: This is the Tea-lightful pattern by Thistledown & Co. I’m working on it as we showcase Linda Zokan’s patterns for two weeks, along with giveaways and, in the second week, a discount on Thistledown patterns. Plus Linda is hosting a “Quilt-a-long with Linda” on her blog. Like us on Facebook and you’ll know right away when something new happens on the blog!
You’re moving right along and you did a great job playing with the colors.
