That doesn't look like Bento Boxes to me. I'd guess some sort of celtic knot pattern? The trick would be in selecting fabrics so that you get the effect of weaving over and under.

I agree with dunster. You can start with this Chain Link block:

I agree with dunster that this doesn't really look like a Bento Box pattern. But---you could start with some of the dimensions and then draft it out on graph paper to get the design you need. However, many blocks have completely different names. Good luck and I think it would be easy to graphed out.

It looks like this to me, but with scrappy batiks: https://www.favequilts.com/Block-Patterns/Celtic-Squares-Block
Alternatively, if it's on point: http://www.quiltngo.com/Data/Sites/1...s_tutorial.pdf |
Isn't it funny several of you mentioned graph paper? I did exactly that last night. You must have sent me a mental message. The picture is very clear and it came out great. I do want to order some more wonderful batiks from Missouri Star to have a nice variety. Thanks so much everyone!

It's not a bento box LOL I'm so sorry ... BUT I am glad you figured it out ... this is a bento box!

I would make the four nine-patch corners of the block, then add the set-ups within the block, lastly the set-up strips between the knot-like blocks.

You're welcome boston! I don't remember right now how I did it, but yup, graph paper is one way to do it. I always outline my quilt blocks in excel LOL ... I just highlight the squares the colour I want them, and then add the lines and voila ... one block all done!
Do it easy! I did 2x2, 2x3 and 2x4 ... (adding 1/2 inch seam allowance of course) ... everything lines up really nice! It's a great quilt to use scraps up too! Have fun! |
We made this square in the New Quilting Bee. It's called strips and squares and you can find the instructions at Quilter's Cache.

It looks to me like each of the 4 squares are made like the beginnings of a log cabin, only using the squares, then one round of strips. Then these are joined with sashings that have strategically placed cornerstone blocks to complete the knot effect.
