Sharon,
Yes, I decided to do something simple on this one - and did a running stitch around the teapots and cups and around the blocks and sashing....
The 9 blocks are fussy cut from a larger piece of fabric - and then it's just a matter of sashing and borders...it make up really well - and quite easily!
Molly, Yep, I love teacups as well..and adore the vintage tea cups and saucers..I have a few in my collection - I think I should start collecting more...
