I'm going Dotty!!! Anyone want to go with me :*D
Today is my day to share my block !
I had a TON of polka dotty fabrics to choose from when I started planning my block. I actually didn't realize I had that many different dot fabrics until I started pulling them all :*) LOL!!!
 |
Just a sample of what I pulled !!! |
I gave a hint in THIS POST about some of the fabrics I was thinking about using for the block. And you'll be happy to know that I used almost all of those fabrics to make these CUTE little teapots :*)
I'm calling it A Spot of Tea. How's that for a catchy title, huh???
I found this wonderful paper-pieced teapot pattern on Craftsy and HAD TO HAVE IT!!! It is so sweet and just perfect for letting me play in lots and lots of my dotty fabrics =^..^= (The corners are square, it is just the way I had to pin it to the frame because I didn't have time to make a hanging tube!)
And of course, four teapots are always better than one, right?!?
Each teapot was a challenge because I fussy-cut the main motifs to fit perfectly in the centers.
It had been quite a while since I had done that, but I think they turned out pretty nice.
Let me know if you would be interested in learning how to do that, and I'll put together a tutorial post :*)
 |
| No, I was not drinking anything alcoholic when I took this picture!!! :*) |
There's even a sweet red & white polka dot heart button in the middle!!! *swoon!*
What did that cup say again????
Yep! That's what I thought!!! ***hehehehe***
I hope you have enjoyed my totally hot and spotty, polka-dotty block! =^..^=
I really had planned to do a couple more, but time got away from me.
You all know how that is, I'm sure :*)
If you're new to A Quilt and A Prayer, I'd like to invite you to follow along =^..^=

Don't forget to go give some love to these other wonderful bloggers who are also sharing their blocks today too, okay?

Okay sweet friend, I'm going to *gush* here for just a second ... your teapots are *darling*!!! You did a fabulous job with them! The extra effort that you put into fussy cutting the fabrics for your centers made such a sweet difference! I'd really like to know how you did that -- I happen to have that same pattern *grin*! :)
Your dots look terrific, too -- I love how they compliment the other fabrics -- it's not so "in your face" dotty! GREAT job!!!! :)
