Tea Party

When I did a little show and tell at my house last week I showed the ladies my tea pot stitcheries. And I fell in love all over again.
Why was this project hiding in an old basket?

So I cut the handkerchiefs and assembled the five blocks. All with a different color plain fabric my friend Astrid gave me ages ago...

 For a long time I was thinking of putting dresden plates in the four blocks. But I bought this package while visiting my friend Hilde in the Hague. Not sure which shop, maybe Quilters Palet?

So I decided to use these octagons to make the 4 blocks. And they turned out very nice!!

I always take it one step at the time.
So I have no idea yet what to do with a border or some additional blocks? Maybe a lot of octagons in different light colored fabrics? Who knows.....

Happy sewing,

Rose-Anne
