Cute Little Cups Quilt

I finished this wall hanging/table topper a couple of months ago back when there was still snow on the ground. I struggled with getting used to my new Mac computer and publishing this post. Every time I went to preview it there were problems loading the page. It seems to be working great today though! So here it is. 

While on Instagram I joined in on a quilt along by Lori Holt of Bee In My Bonnet. She has been making extra little projects using some of the patterns from her book Quilty Fun! For this one we used the block from the Cute Cups Cushion and made it into a small quilt. There are many different versions being made by people on Instagram. To see them on Instagram look up #cutecupsquilt. To see some of the other fun sewalongs she is doing on Instagram search  #quiltyfunscrappysewalong



I chose to use my Tilda fabric that I have been saving for something special!

I just can't get enough of these gorgeous reds and taupes. They just seem to go together so well, like cookies and milk! So that's what I chose for my Cute Cups.

I made a total of sixteen cups. Half red and the other half taupe

 Then I finished it off with a quilt label. I did a little bit of embroidery to jazz up the label.


I quilted it with a simple cross hatch pattern. Sometimes simple does the trick. Thanks Lori for the fabulous sew along!
