Why We Love It

Tea Time is the ultimate pattern for showing off big, expressive botanical prints without losing them in tiny piecing! The generous framed center squares let painterly florals, paisleys, and statement prints truly breathe, while the crisp background grid and lively cornerstone frames keep the energetic colorway neat, balanced, and organized. It comes together quickly with pre-cut 10" squares, making it a stress-free, deeply rewarding make.

Coral and Olive Inspiration

• Highlight Statement Florals: Use the framed 10" squares to showcase large-scale artistic prints, lush English garden botanicals, or whimsical woodland illustrations.
• Stash-Busting Layer Cakes: The ideal pattern for that prized 10" square stacker you’ve been saving—pair with a crisp neutral solid or subtle pin-dot background to let the prints take center stage.
• Cozy Living Room & Porch Quilt: At 76" square, it’s a generous, family-friendly size that looks stunning draped over a couch, hung on a quilt ladder, or enjoyed during afternoon tea on the patio.
• Straight-Line & Grid Quilting: Complement the clean lattice design with simple straight-line walking-foot quilting or diagonal crosshatching to highlight the framed block structure.
