It's going to be a 9 block ...

Thanks very much!

the second and third picture are more stimulating.

Ooh. Beautiful fabrics! I love batiks, and white-on-whites is one of my fabric addictions, so I'm sure it's going to come out stunning no matter what you decide. But personally I like the same color per box, or variation 1 the best. Just my humble opinion.
Very excited to see what you do, this looks like it's going to be a stunner.

I like the 2nd one best

I like the 2nd one best. My close second choice is the first photo. Any will be lovely!!

Love your fabrics, I think the first one gives the pattern the most definition. I have made the bento box before and look forward to seeing what you choose!

Your designs are all lovely. I googled bento box quilts and looked at the images, and in general I like the scrappier look. https://www.google.com/search?q=bent...w=1067&bih=647

Strong preference for same color per box.

For me the first picture. The others looked mixed up and in a large quilt I feel they would look scrappy.

I like the first one.
