Thanks everyone! I got up this morning and found all your wonderful comments! Who hasn't spent quality time with someone over a cup of tea or coffee? This pattern reminds me of good times.
I'm planning to hang the quilt in my dining room and display a few teapots around it.
LOL! Some of you have the same fabric! My! What good taste you have! Because it was my first applique experience, I was terrified to invest a lot of money into the fabric. Joanns had a fabulous sale and I purchased the fabric in 1/4 yard lengths. Plus, I had my teacher's discount which they deduct from the total bill. The top cost less than $20. Include the backing, batting, thread, boarder, and binding and then the total cost was less than $40.
