I recently saw a quilt and the lady said she started with an 8 in square then added a 2 in border to all 4 sides. Then cut in half twice to make 4 squares and arranged however she wanted. I would like to see if I can find more ideas and photos of this. Does anyone know what this may be called?
Thanks, Terry

It almost sounds like a disappearing 9 patch but doesn't start as a 9 patch. Sounds fascinating.

Sounds a bit like Bento Box. Should be neat.

is this what your looking for it is the bento but hard to picture with out seeing what the quilt would look like.

Hello Terry, and welcome from Idaho!

Hi and welcome from the sunny state of Florida.
I see someone has already found the pic of the Bento Box quilt!

That may be it, not sure though. This one just had the square in the middle and 1 log around it. I will have to make a block and show it on here.

I am just getting back to quilting. Sort of a beginner here. I am 55 and my husband just passed away about a year ago and I have not done any sewing since then. Decided I needed to start on some new projects to fill the void in my life.

How sad. I'm sorry you have to deal with such aweful heartache. I think if you start hanging out here, you will make new friends and get back into a wonderful craft.

The Bento Box uses multiple rows but I believe it works the same with just one row.
