Batik Bento Box




This is a queen size Bento Box quilt that I made for my guy for Christmas a few years ago. This pattern goes together quickly because the pieces are quite large and there aren't a whole bunch of seams to line up. I didn't do any kind of fancy quilting on it, just in the ditch. I want to start getting more adventurous with my machine quilting.

Thanks, Karen! Some of the pictures I have on my computer are ones that I took with my old camera. It had a setting that was "best for web", so a lot of the pics got resized. But now that I'm using those pictures for the blog, they look too small on here. Sometime I'll use my new camera and take a different picture of this quilt. Or figure out how to make pics larger. It's painful being a computer dummy, hehe!
