I've made 2 teapots and 4 different cups. The blocks are all made with strips for them to sit on so you can combine them to look like real shelves.

For each block I've numbered the parts for sewing and included a reversed block (with no numbers) so that you can make your cups and pots face in either direction for more variety.
