Hi friends!
Thanks to the board member who directed me to a blog by Crystal who has a shortcut for making the Bento box quilt blocks. My darling sweet youngest son is getting married in March to a Japanese woman and I'm making it for them in batiks. The reason I'm telling you all about if first is I want you to kick me off this board if you see me too much LOL I need to get going on this hahaha :D:D:D I think it will be a wall hanging b/c I can't MQ well yet so I'll need to hand quilt it.

I feel stupid but what is a Bento Box
|
This tute is WONDERFUL!! I actually drew out a bentobox in my quilting notebook as a pattern I want to do. This will save me so much time!
|
what is a bento box??
|
Bento is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine. A traditional bento consists of rice, fish or meat, and one or more pickled or cooked vegetables, usually in a box-shaped container.
|
Congratulations!! The quilt will be lovely. How far have you gotten on it today?
|
I also have been wanting to make this pattern. I have had a picture of it hanging in my sewing room for about 4 years!!! Yikes! So thanks for the great tute. You have spurred me on to get going with it.
|
great tfs........
|
Great tutorial. I made a bento box the old way and this seems much easier.
|
If you do a search you will find some great examples....I just did.

Thanks for the blog address !!!!

Thought - that looks pretty and looks as if it might work up quickly. Went to sewing room to see what fabrics might do from stash. While there eyes skipped to DMC threads bought yesterday and not put away. Went to bedroom (cross stitch stash), pulled the rest of the threads, found linen and put the first stitches in halloween witch. Bento box tomorrow if I can keep my grasshopper mind on the right track! LOL
|
