google 'quilt teapot' and you'll find heaps of patterns.
some free, some not.
then check the images on google too.
if only for all the ideas of different teapot shapes.
you could do the same for teacups.
interesting that most of the teapots have the handle on the right side.
maybe lefties dont drink much tea. who knows.
...and afternoon tea has all the plates of savouries and cakes to eat with
your tea, of course.
much variety on that meal alone with a wee bit of thot.

I've seen a quilt like that! It looked much like the library/bookshelf
quilts that were so poplar except it was a china cabinet. Each teapot had a
different curve to it- some taller and more slender, some short and squatty,
some with curves down low and some curved higher, etc. It was just darling!
I have no idea where to find it, tho. Sorry.
And I'd be tempted to add some similar fabrics with green or yellow or peach
or deeper pinks in the prints on the teapots- just for fun.

Eleanor Burns has a cute pieced teacup in her "Christmas at Bears Paw
Ranch" book. I made it in blue and yellow for a tea drinking friend.
