Pot of Tea? UFO - Finish
 
4 Attachment(s)
Hi Guys,

Here are some pictures of my latest finish - the whole quilt and three of the panels. It was a Block of the Month called Sweet Tea, which of course I didn't make as they arrived... no I collected them, in a nice pile.... (never quilted much before) and eventually made all together!

I started this quilt when I was very very very new to quilting and very inexperienced. I am still inexperienced, but since becoming a member here I have learned heaps, so I can now see the large amount of mistakes I made when creating this quilt top.

Also, the company that put the BOM together sent some very poor fabrics... the green and white stripe seemed to have a bias in both directions.... stretchy and flimsy! So it was a real doosey!!!

Anyway, it is pieced now.... just the quilting to do!

Hugs and thanks for looking!

I think you've done an excellant job. Quilting is not easy on good fabric. Bad fabric is worse. You did really good.

Whatever the issues you may have had, you turned out a beautiful quilt. The colors are pretty and the ribbon border is wonderful. Good job.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Is there a pattern for these tea pots?

#1piecemaker 01-18-2012 04:27 PM

I love it. But, I am a sucker for teapots and tea cups! You did an amazing job for a beginner.

I have the same set. I also have not touched mine and am delighted to see how it turned out. How pretty! Someday I will get the time to dive in on my sections.

I really like it and have been considering doing a quilt with tea pots and cups for a sister in law; this really inspires me to get started. Thanks for sharing.

Your top is lovely! It feels so good to finish a UFO doesn't it? Just quilt the flimsy fabric well and it should hold up for many years.

patsynel 01-19-2012 08:22 AM

I like your tea pot quilt, you did an excellent job. Thanks for showing.

Hi Bubble951

Yes there is a pattern. I bought them as a BOM so there are 8 different parts to the pattern.

Love those teapots and the ribbon border, but most of all, I loved my "morning laugh", the green fabric that was bias in both directions.
