Scrappy and Sweet Bento Box for a friend. Made entirely from my stash, more of a hoard, really. My First Assistant and Quality Inspector welcomes you!

LOL on the hoard.

I love the scrappy bento box and the piecing on the back too.

Very nice scrappy quilt!

Mrs. Finch, I like your scrappy Bento Box. I have this pattern, and have never made it. You have inspired me to try it.

When you pulled from your stash, did you go through the colors and hand select the colors you thought went well together, or did you just put anything and everything in?

I have yet to make a true scrappy quilt, I usually do a color scheme. I would love to know your thought process in choosing which scraps. Thanks!

Love it when you can use what you have on hand and don't have to buy fabric.

I haven't either. I will put it on my todoit list. It's already about a mile long, whatever!
I also agree that your colours go well together. That is an area I struggle with at times in scrappy quilts.

Great quilt. Love bento box pattern, one of the first quilts I made and still a go to for quick and easy.

PumpkinSundae 04-12-2015 07:15 AM

Love you quilt and your beautiful quilt inspector!

I have a bento box cut out and started from years ago! Yours really inspires me to pull that thing out and git her done! Beautiful work! Congratulations!

Very nice...love your fur baby too....

Mrs Finch 04-13-2015 03:22 PM

Thanks for the kind comments. Girlfriend asked about color combinations - my friend's living room in mauve, white/cream, and blue was the inspiration, since I made it for her. I call it scrappy because I did not have very much of some of the fabrics.
