An easy and fun quilt to make!
Drums, daffodils, black cat and colorful gecko
Geckoes and sunflowers
The pink cat, and favorite coffee batik
Yes, I love cats! It was fun to rediscover some of the fussy cut fabrics for the cups.

Pieced backing
It was difficult to get the colors right. I took the photos in the shade on the porch. The bottom looks a bit washed out compared to the top that have more the right colors.

I've had this teapots / teacups fabric for years. The idea was to make some table quilts (table runners, placemats, tea cozy etc) which never happened. I had saved it because it was 'too pretty to cut'! lol Well, I just had to trim it a bit to fit the backing.
...and yes, I did incorporate the broken handle cup to the back! 😃
The binding is an 'old' black and white animal print I found in my stash.

Congrats on your finish. Very cute!!!
These cups turned into a great quilt. Is it really for your dad? I love the close-up shots and would LOVE to have that yellow cat cup in real life. Happy that you found a little place for the broken cup. It proves that there's room for anyone in this world, even broken cups. Bravo! ;^)
Another great finish! I'm so happy you used the 'broken' cup on the back.
Well done, Astrid. Congratulations on another finish. I love how you incorporated the 'broken handle' cup into the backing.
Aaw this is a darling quilt, Astrid. So many fun fabrics and I just adore the broken coffee cup block on the back ; it made me smile. It reminded me of a favorite mug that I broke the handle off of and I still kept it to put pencils in. Enjoy your day.
Love this quilt! You are finishing so many amazing quilts!
What a lovely finish--great use for the teapot fabric...love all the novelties in this one, Astrid...;))) nice work--congrats on the finish!! Hugs, Julierose
Thank you, Chantal! The quilt is for me (my dad is gone long time ago). Instead of a square quilt (pattern), I made it rectangle to fit the bed.
What a great finish! And you were able to use the tea pot fabric for the back, so that is another win!
That's a beautiful finish, Astrid! I've loved your coffee cups all along, and it's so fun how you paired them with all the cute prints. Congratulations on your finish!
Great work Astrud, I've enjoyed watching you stitch these coffee mugs over time. It has turned out beautifully.
This is a lovely finish. It is great to see all the fun fabrics in each of the blocks. And I like the way you have put the backing together.
Lovely work.
Your "Coffee with Dad" quilt is wonderful, dear Astrit.
I love mugs and also enjoy having coffee and tea. Perhaps one day I’ll sew a few mug blocks myself.
Congratulations on your beautiful quilt featuring those wonderful fabrics.
Warm regards, Viola
Thank you, Viola! It was an easy and fun quilt to make. I love mugs and coffee, not so much tea.
