But I did have a collection of bone china cups and saucers from England and Ireland and several matching teapots. So that's what I set out with the dessert. It turned out better than I expected! Each of them chose their favorite pattern and used that every time. This group was together nearly 10 years and I think of them often. I even talked them into a friendship block exchange. Everyone made a block for the hostess of the month with their color choice and embroidered their name in the center of the block.

Thanks hobbykatt1955 for bringing back a treasured memory with your quilt.
